Hi, ian here from Songkick (YC summer '07 batch). We're based in East London. If you're UK based get in touch - can introduce you to other hackers in the UK doing/interested in start-ups. We'll organise some drinks soon. You can reach us at founders at songkick dot com.

There are several UK startups funded by YC, so we exist! Auctomatic, Sitepass, Songkick and a few in the new batch.

Visas are difficult but otherwise I'd recommend moving to the Valley, or at least visiting.

How about getting together at this?

Myself and Harjeet will be there.

I am just starting out and trying to get a couple of start-ups off the ground. I am based in Leeds (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=leeds&oe=UTF-8...) and my current concern is about finding talent in the north. Everything I have read so far - including most of the stuff on YC News - suggests that I will have to go down south to London or Cambridge, or up-sticks and move to 'the valley'. However, recent networking events have introduced me to local talent and so things are looking more optimistic.

In London. Working on collaboration software.

If anyone has the leadership ability to organize a meetup - I would be very interested.

Hi. We're here - based in Newcastle. Existing business, however we've two startups underway that are being run by two independent teams. I'm trying to oversee them and help where needed as at 37 years old I get too tired for all-nighters!! Just as a note though, I often go out to San Jose etc to meet up with people

I'm in Southampton, Hampshire. Currently hacking away at a web app which has something to do with online storage. In the progress of registering the company.

Will be hopefully moving to Cambridge at some point (that is if I don't run out of money entirely).

In Cambridge incubating an idea. Cambridge is a great place for entrepreneurship.

I'm here from Ambush Networks (http://www.ambushnetworks.com)

Not really a hacker, more of a computer security consultant.

I'm in London, working on a journey planner. Keen to meet hackers in the UK. Drop me a line at enginedriver at telltrains dot com

BTW, my site is www.telltrains.com

I'm working for 'social betworking' starup http://www.bragster.com/ in East London. I'm originally from the North West and often keep an eye out for jobs back there but they usually pay ridiculously low amounts so all the hackers congregate in or around London. Also there are loads of opportunities to network around London which are all but non-existent in the North.

London based, and lecturing at London South Bank University. Just put up a few social networking sites around climate change, poverty, peace and wildlife. They're gathered on http://www.bippr.com.

Good to see what else is going on.

I'm on twitter at http://twitter.com/helptheworld.

In Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

Two of us working on a web service that should make blogging more 'two-way' and social, as opposed to the rather one-way broadcast activity than it is at present. Hopefully it will help web-surfing be a far richer reading experience and encourage higher quality Internet conversations.

I am in the U.K - Milton Keynes, which is less than an hour from London. I dabble but I am no hacker by any means. I do however design software for a living and I am looking for a hacker co-founder for a startup. So if anyone is interested, do get in touch - initially by reply here and we'll take it from there.

I'm one of the co-founder's of Zamzar which has been live for about a year now. (http://www.zamzar.com)

I'm based in Southampton and interested in the meetup that the Songkick guys are mooting - you could always post the details on Hacker News ?

Hi, I don't think I'm a hacker (unfortunately I'm a lawyer) in Birmingham UK, but may be looking for any interested hackers to collaborate with me in overhauling the provision of legal services to people via a personal startup. If anyone wants to share any ideas or comment,I'd be grateful.

Hi, I'm in Central London currently working on a start-up part-time and looking to pursue it full-time from early next year. I would be really interested in meeting hackers to share ideas, if you guys at Songkick organise something count me in.

I'm in london, working on a citizen journalism site (www.scribblesheet.co.uk)

Hi, we're two American hackers in London starting a betting exchange to take on Betfair. Would love to meet up with hackers/startups in London...jason@binaryclub.com

Hmmmm, just as I thought, everyone is down south! Could people please expand on the merits of being down south: is it easier to find funding, hackers, etc?

I'm dropping out of the University of Bath to work on tech startups full-time in London. Also in Winchester quite a lot as from there.

Bristol based here. There plenty of UK startups but they're mostly busy working isntead of posting on here :p

In Guildford, have a few ideas for startups, but not gone as far as actually doing anything about it. Yet.

I am in Devon hacking away at my ideas. Doing client work to pay the bills at the moment.

3 guys in London, and myself in Bristol working on our project concept at the moment

Irish hacker here. We are currently in stealth mode while we work on our project.

I'm in London, working on a web app for helping people share and organise stuff.

Hey, i hope the sponsors of this site don't mind me offering help to anyone interested in building an international software brand. I was the development director at Codemasters and built and sold M$$$$$$$$$ software brands with hackers. I'm a follower of master hacker Paul Graham...see me....www.cibermole.com. Kent/England.
