I love start-ups and my involvement will be to help Tyler and Waleed promote it, sell sponsors and generate media attention.

This is my first Startup Weekend and I have read the TechCrunch, MSNBC and WashPost coverage and now wanna be a participant.
The idea is to gather up a room full of people, split up into teams and launch a company (by the end of the weekend). I have some goals which include (a) wear the same outfit until my team turns a profit, (b) sleep 7 hours/night and (c) Get my teams new company on CNN (but not be on myself).
As an assistant to the organizers (Tyler and Waleed), I want to (a) host an awareness building party in SF, (b) invite people from other cities interested in Silicon Valley’s tech scene, and (c) recruit mentors like Robert Scoble, Ron Conway and Dave McClure.
My mentor, Mark McCormack, writes about entrepreneurship in “What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School“. |
