“The idea was to get a bunch of creative entrepreneurs together to share what we were working on, and we liked the idea of breakfast rather than another tech drinks setting,” said Ms. Tenentes.

On the last Friday of each month, North Brooklyn Breakfast Club MeetUp congregates at Enid’s on the edge of Greenpoint and Williamsburg to meet tech people, see presenters, and use the restaurant’s wifi.

Ms. Tenentes spends a lot of time working to create a sense of community--she's Community Manager for Foursquare's 10 million users. She is also a partner and contributing editor of the blog Brooklyn Based. Before starting North Brooklyn Breakfast Club, Ms. Tenentes started Digital Dumbo, a similar idea in a different neighborhood.

“When we started Digital Dumbo in 2008, it just made sense because of all the startups in a small neighborhood and we wanted likeminded people to meet,” said Ms. Tenentes. “When we started NBBC last winter, we had a bunch of startups and people working on small projects in our own neighborhood.”

Someday, Ms. Tenentes may want to work on her own start-up. She is working on a new project to connect women in tech, she said, and she has no plans to leave Brooklyn anytime soon.
