A great introduction to figuring out what a Startup Weekend is like, filmed and edited by Danny Holland. The last 3 minutes is from Reed Foehl, a musician and friend of Samantha Murphy.
Lots of things are in the works at Startup Weekend. Here is a quick update:
We are opening up the schedule. If you have participated in a Startup Weekend before and want to run your own, drop me an email and lets work on setting one up. It is still not decentralized project.
I have been working on setting up several weekends. Expect a launch of 3 new weekends in the next week.
Sales to the Boulder Startup Weekend and the Portland Startup Weekend have been brisk. I will post when they are close to selling out, but you have a little more time to procrastinate before buying your ticket.
The feedback has been amazing. Thank you to everyone that has contacted me offering kind words or support.
Startup Weekend is hiring! This project began with very humble beginnings, and is now growing and expanding beyond what I though was ever possible. More on this later this week.
Guest writers are needed! This blog is getting a fare amount of traffic from all sorts of amazing startup folk. If you have a topic that that you are passionate about, let me know and we will set something up.
Hope February is treating you well (and you are staying away from the flu and colds that have been so bad this year).
We added two widgets to the sidebar of this blog. The nPost job board is a very cool recourse for anyone looking for a job in this area, and the User Voice is a great way for collecting feedback.
The original Boulder Startup Weekend started this whole project. It was in Boulder, late one night, that the idea was coined. Later, the idea was nudged into reality. And now 7 months later, after 15 Startup Weekend events around the world, it is time to come home.
The Boulder Startup Weekend II will take place March 21st-23rd at the CU . Tickets are on sale here for $40 and will be used to provide food, shirts, posters, music, streamers, pop rocks and soda.
This is from the first post of the Startup Weekend project:
“Create a startup in a weekend.
Simple eh? Let’s go.
Oh, you want more details?
In the Boulder/Denver mini Valley there is a sizable chunk of humble talent. Let’s get together, pick and idea and launch a startup around the idea in a weekend.”
So with that, I want to open the registration for the Boulder Startup Weekend II, which will be the first ’sequel’ of a city. Fitting for the city that inspired it all to be the first to repeat. Expectations are high, space is limited, sign up today.
