Perhaps because I am one of the oldest attendees of startup weekend (I went to the D.C. one), I take a longer-term view on assessing the ROI generated by the process. Yes, the companies formed at startup weekends may or may not lead to much direct revenue. But in D.C. we spent 2+ months coming up with and sharing ideas before the weekend, and both that and the intense energy of the weekend have forged connections and possibilities that are likely to generate very substantial ROI’s from new ventures in this area over the next few years.
As to the quality of the people attending, many of them are A-list, and most of the others are aiming to become A-list in the near future. I think the people who don’t participate in processes like this will find themselves later on surprised at what they have missed.

Thanks for covering us Mike, I just had an entertaining read through the comments. I was involved in the weekend and loved it. I’ve never had an opportunity to be part of such a fast-forming community.

I’ve approached this with the open mind of going on an adventure and participating in an experiment. I was extremely pleased with the quality of folks I met and the opportunities meeting them will likely lead to. I think this format has a lot of value both to entrepreneurial schools and also large companies who want to inject some randomness and energy into a project.

It’s all very well saying “Well it’s not meant to make money, it’s just an event”, but Young Enterprise groups all over the UK do a similar thing – they come together in order to form a small business, and they have to come up with an idea for it themselves. Many of them manage to make at least some profit. And the entrepreneurs are all aged 16-18.

So there’s the challenge to HelpHookup. Make at least some money, or Web 2.0

Well, as one of the members of this interesting experiment, I can say that is was worth it. I spend most of my time running the dev group, and despite the normal issues of platform, framework, schema, etc.. I watch a bunch of really talented programmers learn how to build, destroy, rebuild again. A few came away will new skills and others with insights into approaches to solving problems. As the weekend flew by, I would ask around if people ‘thought this was fun’, and each person who stayed the full 2.5 days, I got a non hesitant YES!
As I write this I am VERY tired from what seems like non stop action since the beginning. Even if NOTHING came out of this effort, I met some great people, watched human drama, disappointment, elation and bonding happen in fast foreword. All I can say is; what a rush.

@37/Anewday: WTF is wrong with you?

Startup Weekends take NO money from anywhere. It’s sweat equity from a group of willing volunteers. If you pulled your head out of your ass and read a little before speaking, you’d know that.

But then reading and thinking is probably something you consider bullshit too…

Maybe when you’re done with your current Billion Dollar idea, you can move out of your Mom’s basement and get enough daytime schooling to not be such a gargantuan crap-spraying iTool all of the time.

p.s. I’m sure your Mom would appreciate the change too.

Seems like this blog is capturing the spirit of this event excluding the always dependable nay-sayers (full disclosure, I am a participant).

The unique chance to throw 130+ random folks together, vet an idea and bring it to life in 54 hours is simply astonishing – in fact, I would challenge any MBA program to emulate this platform for their students, you learn a ton – my single biggest take away is that at the end of the day is that any company is only as good as the people in it – ideas, market places, market share, etc., toss it all out the window if you can’t work together – this demonstrated that not only is that possible, but you can really achieve amazing things with a bunch of strangers…that alone is profound and illustrative of the modern entrepreneur.

Read anything by Tim Sanders to get a great perspective on this.

I agree with Will (#30). When I came here, I didn’t really expect to build a real startup. I came for the community and the experience and to have a fun weekend. However, now that I met so many great people here, and that I see the thing coming to live, I’m very optimistic that it could be a great product.
