Here is the link for the orgnial website with a little bit more info. Started by some pretty cool folks in Atlanta. </p>http://gangof5atlanta.tumblr.com/post/36461798http://gangof5atlanta.tumblr.com/post/36461798Thu, 29 May 2008 11:07:57 -0400<p>Here is a quick and dirty of what <a href="http://www.gangof5.net">Gang of 5 (GO5)</a> is and what we are trying to accomplish. <br/><br/>A Harvard study found that 4.5 people is the optimum group size. So the idea came about to get a group of Start UP companies together once a week to help each other out. </p><p>Its AA for Entrepreneurs. We meet once a week usually on Friday mornings at 10 at a coffee shop. We currently have a meet up in dunwoody however I am looking to start one in Midtown. </p><p>Because of the 4.5 number we rounded up to 5. Each week you give your elevator pitch, and give a quick recap of the weeks struggles and successes. We then take two companies and dig deep into their problems for about a hour. We collectively try to help solve them and figure out better business practices. <br/><br/>This is a SELECT GROUP, the same people each week and you need to be able to commit the time to for the group.  </p>http://gangof5atlanta.tumblr.com/post/36098805http://gangof5atlanta.tumblr.com/post/36098805Mon, 26 May 2008 10:24:42 -0400
