I've been organising a group of founders in London. Right now there are 28 of us signed up to do Startup School together, looking to do the course as a group and recreate as much of the YC experience as possible. We have weekly dinners lined up with some brilliant speakers and a London business school is kindly offering its space for us to work together during the ten weeks. We're also looking at plans for a London demo day at the culmination of the course.

I got to speak with Sam Altman on Monday whilst he was in London, explained what we're building for founders and what it is they want more than anything: to meet and learn from YC alumni. He was generous with his time and supportive, advising us to go out there, find them and persuade them to take part. So here I am on HN following Sam's advice! We'd love to have YC alumni come along to some dinners and share valuable insight with our collection of founders. Even if you can only spare 30mins, any alumni assistantance would be amazing. We're a friendly bunch who are passionate about building things.
