More opportunities for meeting up have been popping up recently. One of the newest is an Open Coffee Club, modeled after the Open Coffee Clubs described in Brad Feld’s book, “Startup Communities.” The morning event, planned for every three weeks, is hosted by FIU’s Pino Global Entrepreneurship Center and MapYourStartup.co and will include mentors that will offer one-on-one sessions. The first is July 11 at Pipeline Brickell; sign up at meetup.com/Miami-Open-Coffee-Club/
