There were 51 total responses. The 2013 LessWrong survey got 1636 responses, a lot more. But the number here is non-negligible, considering I said we were just gauging interest in this preliminary post.

Most respondents are in STEM fields (software, math, chemistry, etc., including two in economics). Five are non-STEM (carpentry, psych, etc.).

There is a mix of students (14 respondents), professionals (most respondents), and about two or three executives or company owners.

Below are the types of networking people are interested in. The number of employees/employers are reasonably matched. The near-equality between those seeking investment opportunities and investments is surprising. The "Other" results included "Mentees" and general networking.

42 Job offers
13 Employees
21 Cofounders
36 Mentors
12 Investors
13 Investment opportunities
9 Other

I don't know where we'll take this from here, but let me know if you have any thoughts on this.

Two outcomes are the idea of updating your user page and a new Google Group.

Also, the idea of connecting on LinkedIn to other LW'ers.
