What is Open Coffee Club (OCC)?

Essentially Open Coffee Club is a place for people who love startups to hang out and meet. It was started by Saul Klein in London in Feb 07 to encourage entrepreneurs, developers and investors to organize real-world informal meet-ups to chat, network and grow. The first OCC meet happened in London on 1st March 2007. Ever since the concept has been spreading and growing across the globe.

The Bangalore chapter of Open Coffee Club started in Aug 07 with the first meet being held at Brew HaHa on 19 Aug 07.
