Take a bunch of strangers and give them 72 hours to organize into teams and bring someone's brain child to life... yea, better have your ducks in a row as an organizer. I would think that any tools that a startup weekend organizer could use to make it easier for attendees to navigate through the weekend would be a huge plus. solid article. thanks.

If you haven't attended a Startup Weekend, you must! Actually launch a business: Over 36% of Startup Weekend startups are still going strong after 3 months. Roughly 80% of participants plan on continuing working with their team or startup after the weekend.

I actually went to my first Startup Weekend this year. It's interesting to read about what goes into making it happen.

I definitely want to go to another SW. Does anyone know how many lasting companies actually make it out of these events?

I actually came to ask the same question as hnncl... I thought it was something like 30% of SW teams that end up incorporating, but I can't remember where heard that figure.
