Bryan Elliott, Founder of Linked OC

You’re invited to join a special new group of Orange County professionals.

Linked OC is dedicated to developing business and improving the economy in Orange County. It is a leading business community network connecting the disconnected to create value among members and in the community. Quoting from what author Seth Godin has said about the purpose of tribes or communities like ours, our main purpose is:
* Connecting people buying with people who are selling.
* Connecting information seekers with information.
* Connecting teams, collaborators and innovators to each other.
* Connecting those with similar business goals.
* Connecting job hunters with jobs.
* Connecting organizations spending money with ways to save money.
* Connecting like-minded, passionate people into a movement.

While there is strength in numbers, we don’t measure value by how many members we have. We’re not keeping score of our popularity or adding hundreds of new ‘friends’ we may never know.

We’re interested in people who understand that the real value of social networking is when it translates into meaningful relationships of trust. Where members help each other, form a community and prosper. A place where innovation, creativity and collaboration thrive. And self-promotion takes a back seat to generosity.

Our mission is to help members connect. Our goal is to be a leading community network representing the major industries in Orange County including: Food & beverage, Consumer electronics, Automotive, Motorsports, Software & Technology, Retail, Fashion & Action Sports Apparel, Pro Sports, Entertainment & Music, Recruiting & Staffing and more.

If you live, work or have interest in doing business in Orange County you’re invited to join us.

I look forward to connecting!

Bryan Elliott

What a great idea Bryan, I think networking is very important to any business and it is very important to be well connected to the community. I plan on being at the event March 20th. See you then!

Bryan,

It is great to see someone extend that helpful hand to all businesses in the OC area, to support each other in what can sometimes be a tough environment. As a business owner in both OC and LA counties and having moved from London, England to embark on this journey, I thank you for your help.

This may sound dumb but I just heard someone mention this event so I found the website, but what exactly is this event about and what goes on?

Bryan April 17, 2010 at 8:55 pm

Hi Andrew,

This meet up is a networking meet up and launch party for episode 2 of our new TV show. Hope you can join us!

Peace!

First time reading this page.

I’m so glad Linked OC was created. It fulfills a great need in The OC.

And I agree about putting people first. So far, in my business venture(s) the people that have influenced me and my business the most have been close people of trust, and not just the numbers.

We are moving into a culture of sustainability and that means sustainable relationships of quality
