Startup Weekend – Nov 18-20

Marc Nathan — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 13:15:32 +0000

Startup Weekend is just a few days away and you really have no excuse not to register. It’s the single best place to find co-founders, coders and designers interested in startups in a single place. The organizers have taken great pains to make sure that the program is balanced between work and keynote speakers and Javid Jamae has even put together a timeline that demonstrates how to get the most out of the experience.

The stakes are higher this time because both the Kaufmann Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are funding a global initiative for the winners of the regional Startup Weekends. There’s real prize money as well as tools and recognition for people who participate.

I’m honored to be a judge again this year and I can promise that the quality of startups ideas will be very strong.
