I spoke with Dave of SpotGrab this afternoon and am excited to report that they are making progress with www.spotgrab.com.  Looking forward to seeing where that goes, it’s a great idea!

Saw presentations from Bing, Blue Box Group, Gist, Mpire, Evenues, Viafo, and Twilio. All presentations went well and it was great to see such a prominent grouping in Seattle’s startup scene!

Startup Weekend in proud to announce Startup Weekend Finals! Get your chance to win a spot in history as the first winner of the Hyde Trophy!

Every year hundreds of projects, teams, and companies emerge from Startup Weekend events around the world. Startup Weekend will select 10-15 of the best teams to bring together and present live in front of the global Startup Weekend Community in a Pitch Fire style presentation.

Past and current members of the Startup Weekend Community will cast their votes live for the top ideas. The top 3 ideas will receive significant contributions to help continue and further launch their efforts - not to mention the support of a worldwide community of the brightest entrepreneurs and innovators!

Think you can make it to Startup Weekend Finals? Get your chance to make it big by going to the next Startup Weekend Event near you!

GPS Assassins - Concieved at the Nashville Startup Weekend has been relased as an iPhone app.

After months of agonizing wait, GPS Assassinswas released to beta testers in the Nashville area, provided they had an iphone or iPod touch and an Internet connection.

The App was conceived from participants in the first Nashville Startup Weekend and uses the GPS navigation technology in smart phones to seek out others around the area to participate in a kill-or-be-killed, text-based role playing game. Basically, the object is to “assassinate” your friends and neighbors.
