There was a great question posed to the Quora community, “How do I meet other young entrepreneurs/startup-oriented people?” Met with the usual answers about hackathons, startup events, and even online networking, I took a different tack and whipped up my own experience getting to know entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and Austin. While the trendy tech and
