Event Details
It's a get together of people from different disciplines that have an interest in startups and do a complete startup in one weekend. From coming up with the idea and making a business plan to pitching, design and development and marketing. The main goal is to learn from each others experience and to get a chance to work with a new group of people and of course to have a lot of fun.

| A press release about the impending release of your product that will dominate the world is ready and you've compiled a 300-page press list. You also have a plan of other innovative ways to promote the launch and to get as many people possible to come watch the launch online, use your product and/or write articles about it. Think outside the box here and feel free to collaborate with other teams or call in favors from partners or friends that are CEO of Fairfax or design the google algoritm. | |
