These breakfasts are facilitated by SKMurphy, Inc. as a service to the Silicon Valley bootstrapper community, so there is no sales pitch from us or anyone else who attends. The first breakfast was held at Coco’s in the heart of Silicon Valley in 2005. Since that time, they have grown to multiple locations through out the Bay Area.
