Angel investor Dave McClure has a talent for gathering budding entrepreneurs, technologists and venture capitalists for a positive exchange of ideas and experiences. One need only attend a Startup2Startup meeting in Palo Alto -- a monthly dinner that acts as a kind of night school for first-time founders -- for proof. Last week, I chatted briefly with McClure about how the evenings come together, and why he introduced them earlier this year. What do you most try to emphasize at your dinners? It’s mostly about helping the next generation of entrepreneurs learn the ropes, which, given the downturn, is more important than ever. People are interested in the lessons learned by people who’ve been there before. A lot of the inspiration for the dinners came from Round Zero, a similar style event that used to take place from ’98 to 2002 and focused on new startups and first-timers.
