Registration and Fees: This is a free workshop, but open only to the first twenty teams that register. (Hurry, offer open until stocks last. Only 7 slots left!)

Details:

This is a 4 hr workshop for people interested in starting their own technology business. This workshop is for small teams of 2 or 3 people who have a clear idea of an idea they would like to work on. Participants will spend 90% of their time developing this idea.

This is not a lecture, people without their own business idea will be bored.

The workshop will have several segments of 20 – 40 minutes each. I will introduce each segment in about 5 minutes. During the remaining time people will work on that particular aspect of their own idea. Each team will setup a private wiki which they will develop during the workshop.

Segments may include:

• personal biographies of the founders
• over view of the space
• overview of the idea
• technology
  • what are the high level technical requirements for products
  • what is the proposed technology stack for doing something
  • simple architecture diagram
• financial
  • budget, financial requirements
  • cash flow projection, when where to get money
• marketing
  • what are the important websites
  • who are the major competitors
  • who are the luminaries
  • who are the customers
  • who are potential advisors
  • who are potential partners
