Building Communities, Companies and Projects in Weekends

New Leadership at Startup Weekend

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Everyone, welcome Ray Angel, the new ‘guy behind Startup Weekend.’

I met Ray at the Bloomington Startup Weekend, where he impressed me and quite a few colleges with his energy and love of startup culture.  He will now take the lead on Startup Weekend.

You can read his blog here, his twitter here and see his oh so trendy hipster mugshot on the right.

Expect a slew of weekend announcements in the next few weeks.

I will take a step back and advise when needed. It has been an amazing ride, but Startup Weekend was never my true passion, it was an idea that I never expected to blow up and take me to the places it did.  I have now met over 2200 early stage startup junkies over the last 16 startup weekends.

Here is to many more life changing weekends!

Everyone, welcome Ray in the comments.
