I found this rather amusing as I am technical and was at that meeting. oddly enough only one person activly tried to talk to me, the CEO of genie8, and he didnt need another technical guy (as far as I could tell). Based on that one conversation I would have happily worked on his idea.
Here is a tip, devs arent scary and wont bite. We are curious and if you show some (any) attempt to get started you gain massive credibility. Try actually talking to others and not just the mentors, especially when at these sort of events. You never know you mind be able to build the relationship faster then you think.
I honstly think had someone talked to me and had shown some interest in what I was doing at that meetup I could have ended up working on their idea or reccomended someone to them.
