Hack Ideas Bucket for Start-up Weekend in July

[MarcoMorawec]

I'm thinking of going to the startup weekend event on July 26 to hack on an idea, learn new technical skills, practice pitching and have a ton of fun...hopefully some of you want to join in on the fun.

If so, let's throw a bunch of hack/product ideas into the comments on what we'd like to hack on during a start-up weekend and build teams.

Hey Marco. I'm interested, but I've never been to one. How does it work? I thought people pitched and then worked on the best ideas. Can you go in with an existing team?

Great! You generally pitch your idea and then try to get as many votes as possible (last time there were about 50 ideas being pitched). Then the most voted for 10-12 "pitchers" try to build teams around their idea and go execute for the rest of the weekend.

Not a lot of people come with their own idea and teams, but I've seen it happen before and those teams usually have a big advantage over everyone else, e.g. they know each other and can execute much faster.

So, what happens if your idea doesn't get picked? Ours will be bad ass, but just curious.

If your idea doesn't get picked you need to join another team. Only picked ideas get to pitch on Sunday afternoon. But usually everybody get's 3 votes, if you have 3 team members you're starting out with 9 votes on your idea, which is a big headstart ;)

That sounds cool. Maybe everyone can come up with ideas and we can do a modified version of that post I made to decide on the best one.
