Make Your Mark Blog

I just read a fascinating article about 132 people who got together on a Friday night with the intention of starting a company but with no idea of what it would do, and 54 hours later they had finished!

It’s part of an interesting venture called Startup Weekend. It appears to be a one man show that gets people together for a weekend to start a company and keeps 5% of the profits from the created company to fund further Startup Weekends.

I love the idea but so far they are only in America. Maybe we could start a similar thing over here or get them to run a weekend in London? (Would have been a great Enterprise Week event)
