Ask HN: How do I hear capitalists who are a-venturing?

By comparison with the "normal HN reader" I live in "the arse end of nowhere". Well, in a very rural part of Kerry, in a very modern Ireland.

Being a very infrequent Facebook user, I logged in after being told a friend was organizing a party through Facebook events. Was greeted with a choice to subscribe or opt-in to ads.
