We did a Start Up Super Nova before and it was really, really cool. Derek Shanahan mentioned that it worked well because we had essentially created an excellent format:
Application // Community // Inspiration.
Based on that structure we are doing a second Start Up Super Nova.
Application // Web vs. native
Come watch local heros from Nitobi plug PhoneGap and Web Applications vs the evil forces of Apple (Repped by Allen Pike of Steam Clock former Apple Dev). This will be a no-holds barred tag-team extravaganza.
Community [Part 1] // Start Up Pitches
Hear 10(ish) early stage start up pitches in rapid fire format. 30 Seconds, no slides, no questions. Company can be pre napkin or post revenue. (email m.flavelle (at) gmail (dot) com to reserve your spot.)
Community [Part 2] // Pitch Off
Three on the spot elevator pitches from the city’s best pitch men- for companies that were invented on the spot.
Inspiration // Summify
Summify are one of the best start up stories in town. These guys moved here from the other side of the world, jumped incredible bureaucratic hoops, raised money locally and down south and released a product with passionate customers. Come here the story straight from the mouths of co-founders Mircea and Cristian. They make no claim to have it all figured out but are working their way along the path to start up success one step at a time and willing to share their experiences.
