STIRR Celebrates It’s 3rd year with a twist on the FounderHacks series. This time we bring you two of the best early stage investors and a terrific founder for contrast in ‘Deal Hacks’. Each speaker will be sharing personal stories from the the investment side of the fence.

If you haven’t joined us before, STIRR brings together founding teams of startups to connect and forge relationships.

This isn’t a sit-down event.

We’re migrating the main STIRR site over to a shiny new Wordpress blog. Pardon the chaos until things are settled. Much is broken: images, broken links, duplicated posts and all sorts of fun. More updates soon.

RSS Subscribers, you may wish to re-subscribe to STIRR (see links on right via feedburner).
