Idaho Startup Weekend (Boise)

Idaho Startup Weekend, May 21-23. Start it in 54.

We know you’re not the average person, but did you know that in 54 hours, the average person sleeps about 17.5 hours, daydreams as many as 350 times, and spends almost 2.5 hours waiting in line? At Startup Weekend, in 54 hours, you can launch your own startup. And we’re working behind the scenes, assembling an impressive crew of sponsors, speakers, and advisors, to help you start it in 54.

This weekend is for you. And we don’t want you to be merely participants, but also members of the startup community. Please connect with us and other entrepreneurs here: http://startup-weekend.ning.com/group/idaho and get your tickets to Idaho Startup Weekend 2, happening May 21-23 at the Watercooler here: http://idaho.startupweekend.org/tickets/

We’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves for this Spring’s Startup Weekend, so be sure to follow us here and at http://twitter.com/SWBoise for more startup buzz.

And if you’re interested in sponsoring this killer event or want more information, please don’t hesitate to contact Lisa McGrath at lmcgrath79@gmail.com.

Cheers.

Startup Weekend Boise Projects

Startup Weekend Crew — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:34:30 +0000

So Startup Weekend Boise has drawn to a close! Here is a list of the companies that were formed during the event.

1.) Morgans Journey (http://morgansjourney.org) – Morgan’s Journey is a social network where families and individuals fighting disease can come together and educate each other about the finer points of living with a disease and dealing with side affects as well as provide support for one another. It was amazing to have a chance to meet Morgan! Thank you for coming in!

2.) Yaro (http://helloyaro.com) – Yaro is a platform that gives you control over your social media presence by providing one location where you can manage the content you publish to your social networks.

3.) Barteri.Us (http://barteri.us) – Is an online platform that allows users to make trades for goods and services among themselves. Users could trade legal service for web design or swap tools.

4.) MobiDealer – Is a platform that enables car dealerships to communicate with customers via SMS texting rather than putting customers through the painful process of trying to sync up with a mechanic while playing phone tag.

We had a blast in Boise and were so well recived by the community, the Watercooler and the local press. Thank you everyone that was involved in making this event happen!

Updates! Congratulations to everyone!
