What IRC channels can I join to meet startuppers?

As far as I know there aren't any good irc channels for startups. Founders tend to be rather busy so asynchronus comms such as news.yc works better.
I hang out with a bunch of other startup hackers in #polymorphs on niven.freenode.net
People starting up don't have time for IRC. (Or news.YC...Oops.)
After writing for Valleywag for over a year, I want to start a company, so I want to talk to other startuppers. I've noticed a good vibe on YC, and I also enjoy using IRC (most often on #joiito on freenode). Is there a good IRC channel where a lot of startuppers go?
Mostly out of laziness in not wanting to have lots of networks open, I opened up a #news.yc on freenode, which has a few people on it from time to time.
I second the motion for laziness; joining #news.yc on freenode.
Well, #news.yc on efnet is always here if you want to pop in and chat. Activity has waned though, I think due to others using other IRC rooms and others using Meebo. So I hope we can all decide on one set place to chat because I definitely would love to chat with a lot of you guys.
Maybe the solution is a chat feature integrated with News YC?
I hope that doesn't mean you're quitting Valleywag!
