The first Toronto Startup Weekend, September 14-16, brings all the basics of business innovation together for an intense 52 hours to create and launch a web based company.
Weekend Innovation = information+inspiration+informal exchange+ investors
If you have a web business idea and if the group of 100 highly skilled and experienced IT professionals votes to work on your concept you could be in business by Monday morning.
Everyone participating has shares in the new venture. There is no cost to participate; you pay for some of your meals (and accommodations if you are not from the Toronto area).
The first Startup Weekend “sold out” in 3 days. There are a few places open on the waiting list for Weekend 2 that will benefit from “lessons learned” in Weekend 1.
Please visit Toronto Startup Weekend for details.
A journalist is flying in from Dallas to cover the adventure. I wish she would be meeting more women presenting their ideas. The web, particularly the social networking, suits women’s entrepreneurial skills. Hope to see you and hear your ideas at Weekend 2.
