TechCafe is the new name in the greater Seattle area for Seattle Lunch 2.0, this series has it’s roots in the Lunch 2.0 movement that started in Silicon Valley in 2006 by a few folks looking for a free lunch. They quickly found that there were lots of free lunches to be had, cool people to have them with, and cool companies to check out in the process!!

After it gained in popularity a few local Seattlites started to wonder why no one up here was buying the local Seattle/Redmond/Bellevue geek crowd free lunch….

Lunch turned into food and drinks and spilled over into two separate events – Lunch time events and early Happy Hour events. The events started gaining steam and offering a needed connection point for tech companies to meet, show off their goods, and talk about the business of technology companies and products. With the changes and the obvious difficulties of calling Happy Hour “lunch” or the obvious flaws in calling anything “2.0″ – we renamed the events to TechCafe!
