So you want to start a business? You have a product that you believe that no one should do without? You have THE technological idea that will revolutionize the world? AWESOME!
Now the really hard next steps…funding, marketing, promoting, and getting your item on the shelf! Who do you know that can and will tell you, show you, help you with all the “business” of being in business? Well, if you’re like me…no-one.
So where do you go to find “those people?” You know, the people who have the money and are willing to part with it for that next great thing? The people who have the business know how to make sure that your next great thing actually makes it to the marketplace?
What if you ARE one of “those people” but you have no idea where to find the folks with the next great idea? Perhaps you just want to WORK with the folks with the cool idea and have inspiration and knowledge rubbed off onto you.
Well, perhaps Women 2.0 is where you need to be! This August Women 2.0 will be hosting a ‘Start Up Weekend’ just for folks who have the ‘idea’, want to promote the ‘idea’, and who just want to work with the ‘idea’ minded.
As they say on their website http://www.women2.org/:
Startup Weekend is a place to test ideas, contribute to ideas, and meet potential founders. We are bringing together the most innovative, talented, and out-of-the-box entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley.
Get together with folks to hash out the ‘idea’ on Friday. Develop the product/service with your group on Saturday, and then get a chance to pitch it on Sunday.
WOW! A new company/product in a weekend. Now that’s synergy! Talk about a vision becoming a reality. Think of all the wonderful minds working on your “next big thing” and pulling all that energy into making it happen. Are you ready for the next rocket ride? Then pull up to the launch pad and SHOW THEM WHAT YOU’VE GOT!
Be the greatest you you can be!
