Saturday, 29th of September 2007 at 07:14:56 PMSo now that we have the first 24 hours of Startup Weekend – Houston under our belt, here are my initial thoughts:
- Developers, developers, developers;
- It is hard to avoid the feature creep;
- Everyone is a marketing expert;
- Market research is of UTMOST importance;
- Pizza can get old quickly; and
- Developers, developers, developers.
Here is what the team has been able to accomplish so far:
- Business model well defined
- User interface done (for the most part)
- Positioning is forming, but we keep getting stuck in the weeds on small stuff
- Development work coming along but slower than hoped due to lack of development resources
This is turning out to be an eye opening experience as it relates to Houston, Web 2.0 and entrepreneurship. I plan on packing it in shortly but will be back online tomorrow to dish out some more tips on the experience.
