Startups Start

We'd like to do another startup weekend during the summer of 2009. Make suggestions in the Groups, if you have a preference on weekends and/or locations!

In the spring of 2008, 8 entrepreneurs started the first weekend; 7 successfully finished; 6 companies were to be formed; 5 companies did not get cold feet about allocating equity to others... 2 of those companies formed their own build teams and the other 3 pitched their ideas the next Friday night in hopes of finding co-founders. However, insufficient resources were available to continue with the build weekend.

Keep an eye on the BLOG for the latest details.

About Birmingham Startup

Watch the documentary about the Birmingam Startup, now online at the APTV website.

Birmingham Startup has already launched our first company... CrossConneXion launched from start to finish in two back to-back weekends! Building on the StartupWeekend concept, we put on a high-tech "barn raising" for the region's technology entrepreneurs and developers. Keep an eye on this site for an upcoming announcement about our next event slated for late spring!
