Startup Weekend Mission

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Some people go on religious missions. Startups are my religion. I want to embark on an adventure around the US to volunteer my time to grow startup communities, learn from others around the world and help connect people to accelerate the launch of world changing ideas.


Facilitate a SW event every week in a different city around the world for 3 consecutive months.

My plan:


Intense weekend events that brings together top tier developers, designers and entrepreneurs to form into teams to try and launch startups in just 54 hrs.

What are Startup Weekends?


SW events are organized all around the world and are constantly helping to build thriving tech startup communities (expected over 500 events globally in 2012).

I will be continuously researching and blogging about best practices, ideas, cultures and the brilliant people I meet. If you are interested in providing sponsorships for any part of this trip and building a strong
