Where to find like-minded individuals?

[GameOver]

This forum is a great place to virtually meet like-minded individuals. I'm looking for suggestions on where to do this locally / in real life?

So far, I've had a few discussions with business acquaintances but it seems most people are risk adverse... they'd be happy to come work for me once I have something figured-out, but aren't really interested in trying to start a venture as they don't enjoy that.

Been to a few business mixer type events that are open to the public, but usually that turns into folks just asking me for a job (with my current employer).

Looked-into the SBA, but networking doesn't seem to be part of their thing. They have government counselors. That seems so... wrong.

So right now I am just in information-collection and exploratory mode. I'd love to be able to talk to people in my area who have made it, are running their own businesses and have problems that need solving. I'd also be interested in talking to others who are where I am at, because who knows if alliances might be possible or necessary.

Just wondering if you've tackled this question and if so, where you went to find folks?
