It is time for the 2. NordicMeetup on May 26, 2010 at our favourite spot – Ruby’s. We are co-locating the event together with TechCrunch Europe who is in Copenhagen for their third TCNordic event.

We launched Mentory almost a year ago. A lot of interesting profiles have joined as protégés, mentors and even as both.
