StartupCampWaterloo

Agenda (The plan in a draft form)

StartupCampWaterloo borrows from DemoCamp except we have a *main speaker* and a couple set presentations from members of the community. The StartupDemo gives you a chance to get your idea out there and get feedback so you can strengthen your idea.

The intention is that the demos are from technology people who are thinking about starting a company, or have recently started a company and are looking for ideas or feedback. It's not so much a pitch, it's a dialogue - you ask us questions, we heckle you! It's a discussion and learning opportunity for everyone - we all get to see what you are asking and what you get back from the audience of technologist and business-types.

1. Intro, rules, etc
2. Speaker! - Our speaker this event is Daniel Debow. Daniel is a Founder and co-CEO of Rypple. Previously, Daniel was the VP of Corporate Development and Marketing for Workbrain, a human capital management software firm.
3. Want to present? (Whoever wants to present gets 60 seconds or less, what is your idea, what you want to talk about. This will only happen if more than six people want to present.)
4. food (be social, vote for what you want to see on the whiteboard)
5. StartupDemo-style presentations, round 1
   Breakdown:
   1. who are you?
   2. what issues do you want help with e.g., market validation, business model, marketing, etc
   3. audience participation in answers
6. break (start talking to people)
7. repeat

Over the evening experts in certain topic areas will be identified, the idea is to use the break time to have small group discussions.

If you would like to sponsor this event, please contact Jesse Rodgers (jrrodgers@gmail.com).
