I just moved to San Francisco a year ago. I know no one any more since I quit my last job to do my own business. I've been feeling really lonely, so I googled "finding friends in San Francisco." This lead me to Craigslist, and soon I was reading ads in the strictly platonic section where men are looking for other men to hike shirtless together. Hiking is cool, but it didn't take me long to realize this wasn't really what I was looking for.

So I've been scouring Meetup, and I've been having a lot of trouble finding things there, too. Here I live in the East Bay, literally I'm at the most ideal place on Earth for finding the kind of people I'm interested in, and struggling. The problem is me, of course! But still, there is opportunity here for the right kind of startup or community.




https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/SFredditors & http://www.reddit.com/r/bayarea is pretty friendly, check it out! There is also http://sf.funcheap.com/ . There are also singular startup & tech industry events and such that pop up all the time in SF. Usually although I find those through friends since I'm not actively looking, there is probably some directory website having it. Most of them seem to be scheduled through eventbrite, so you can just look at the eventbrite directory here: https://www.eventbrite.com/directory


Hey thanks for taking the time to post these amazingly great resources. I really appreciate it!
