Meetup was originally created as way to meet your neighbors--the people who live next door, but who you will never get to know, because The Internet.

But we're neighbors, and we can do better than that. So now...we need to connect. Entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurially-minded of Venice: let's have a drink. Tell us what you're working on, why you're passiona …
