So we are off to Athens again! Last time we enjoyed it a lot. The November weather was great, the hotel proved less exciting than its location near the Omonia square would suggest, and the Openfund gave us the green light to kick-start the Sportmeets project. What is ahead of us this time then?

OK, the first major change is that we’ll be staying in a safer area, so Miro might actually take his camera with him this time. Hope we can get some nice pics for the blog, too.

The second big thing is that we will be presenting Sportmeets at the Openfund Demo day, which will take place on 28th April. You can find out more about the event on Openfund’s own blog. We are looking forward to meeting up again with all the guys from the Openfund, as well as the other funded startups – Fashinating, YouScan and Listiki.

Of course, Sportmeets is about sports in the first place, so we are taking our football boots along, too! Following the Demo Day, on Thursday (29th April) Sportmeets will host its first ever public sporting event: a proper game of football! (originally we thought of ice-hockey, but British Airways won’t let us take the hockey sticks in the cabin luggage for some reason…)

This is an open event and everybody is invited – or more precisely – everybody will be invited – via Sportmeets! So if you feel like you could do with a relaxing, healthy kickabout on Thursday evening, just watch this space for my next post about the exact place and time, and how to RSVP. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Well, here we come, Athens, so get your souvlaki and ouzo ready! Yeah, and we hope there will be no volcanos causing trouble this time…
