Start your company this weekend (Parktown, Johannesburg)
The basic goal this weekend is to start at least one company.
We will do this by gathering a group of people that all are interested in becoming IT entrepreneurs. Those of them that have a business idea will get a chance to pitch the idea (the elevator pitch). People then volunteer their weekend to help bring an idea that they believe in towards prototype stage.
We believe this can be done, because a weekend is short enough that people stay energized and long enough that a significant amount of work can be done by 5-10 people that work on an idea they believe in.
Participants: Anyone with a laptop that wants to be part of a technology startup, but primarily people with programming skills.
