Ever wondered what it takes to be an entrepreneur?

The professional and personal challenges, the high and lows, the failures and the success?

Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. It is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs with over 400 past events in 100 countries around the world in 2011.

The non-profit organization is headquartered in Seattle, Washington but Startup Weekend organizers and facilitators can be found in over 200 cities around the world. From Mongolia to South Africa to London to Brazil, people around the globe are coming together for weekend long workshops to pitch ideas, form teams, and start companies.

All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it’s a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.

Whether entrepreneurs found companies, find a cofounder, meet someone new, or learn a skill far outside their usual 9-to-5, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups. If you want to put yourself in the shoes of an entrepreneur, register now for the best weekend of your life!

Once the objectives and needs for prototyping are identified, Diem is one of a handful of experts at IDEO who can immediately gauge the best and the right way to execute.

A good prototype is one that answers a question at minimal cost, time and energy, and one that can be modified at speed. Diem believes that prototyping is the quickest way to make others understand one’s thoughts without misinterpretation. It is the difference between reading a book and watching a movie where the latter shows you exactly what the story works like, feels like and look like. Importantly, prototyping in business means reducing risks and costs.

卢卡斯•牧兹卡、拜瑞•李,他们和上海创业周末的真实故事

by liuyandatong

2011年11月卢卡斯•牧兹卡在创业周末活动中结识了拜瑞•李,而此前他们的生活并没有任何交集。在那一届的活动中,起初他们没有任何想法,更不可能想到最终他们竟然能共同地将一个尚处于雏形阶段的概念转化为具有吸引力的方案,并成功地演示出来。 尽管他们的想法 – SmartCV(智能简历)- 这一点子未能被当时的评审委员们甄选晋级前三甲,但却受到知名的风险投资人查理的青睐,被其认定为他个人投资的第一选择。接下来的几个月,初出茅庐的这两位创业拍档毅然辞去原有的工作,成立了团队。他们着手开发基于多种技术的底层架构,围绕Ruby on Rails平台进行编译。随着这个SaaS (软件即服务)在线应用产品的完成和上线,团队一直以来面对的各种否定及自我怀疑最终换回了由衷的肯定,那是初尝成功的喜悦。 在SmartCV推出beta版本(未最终完成的测试)之际,该团队终于搬进了他们的第一个办公室,这也几乎恰好是他们在创业周末上完成演示后的一周年。当得知新一轮的创业周末上海站活动正在筹备中,SmartCV已准备好并期待着和“新一班”创业者们来分享他们在创业过程中那些来自不易的经验和教训。 When Lukasz Muzyka and Barry Lee met as strangers on the [...]
