group for pure startups...

hi... can someone tell me if there's a group where people who are interested in starting/contributing to embryoninc startup concepts can get together/meet, exchange ideas, etc... i'm not referring to meetings where you do VC/Funding presentations, I'm basically talking about meetings where you could form your team, join a team, etc... we're looking to round out our team with a few web development resources.. and we've pretty much been racking out brain trying to figure out where/how to approach tis issue. i'm in the west coast, bay area. thanks -bruce bedouglas@earthlink.net
