Question 1

If I sign up do I need to be at the event all weekend?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes. Small teams depend on all the team members being involved for the entire weekend. However we know things come up and and folks will have to be gone for some of the time. Being at the event for the entire Friday evening event is essential for the kickoff.

Question 2

Are these real companies by the end of the weekend?

Accepted Answer

We finish the weekend with what might become a successful business - it happens, but we do not encourage anyone to start assigning ownership interests or long term roles.  No one "owns" the work done during the weekend, but its yours to take your next steps!

Question 3

Can I come and work on a business I've already started?

Accepted Answer

This is not where you work on  a business you've already started.  We want you to come with fresh ideas that you can share, but that's not required. Its OK to propose an idea that you've thought about and perhaps even researched, but it may not be selected by a team.
