Pitch
Startup week-end for friends
Week-end do(s) were startup week-end with friends.
It is very similar to the now well known Startup week-end, but there is only one team, so the choice of the project is voted upstream.
People who gather for that week-end are friends and friends of friends, skills are multiples (video editor, developer, designer, product manager, etc.)
How it worked in details:
- Thursday evening: everyone meets in a bar to pitch his/her idea, then a vote designates the best project, the winner becomes the team leader
- Preliminary duties are defined by the project leader according to each person skills
- Friday evening: it starts with the first evening of work
- Saturday: breakfast, lunch, we keep a very good and casual atmosphere, and then follows an evening of intense work
- Sunday: lunch, video game battle. We put the project online, if the project is not finished on Sunday, we vote for the extension (on our personal time)
List of projects born:
- Le bon tris: Website to help find points of deposit for non-daily waste, using Paris open data
- Squarechat: Geo-located and anonymous group chats (your avatar was a colored square) iOS / Android App
- Bouquinez: Web platform to create a personal library for book and DVD with loan management to your friends
Note: Weekend do then gave birth to the collective We Heart Projects
