As a result, she has decided to take matters into her own hands and has set out on a course to produce a documentary titled, “She Means Business.” The documentary will explore the key issues women entrepreneurs face such as similarities/differences in female-led versus male-led companies; women’s access to capital and entrepreneur training/business skills; and successes and strategies of woman-led businesses.

Sean Griffin has spent the last five years creating a business model competition which can be replicated in any community. The fundamentals of this program were developed in Silicon Valley during the dot-com era – but while all the world is focused on tech, StartUp Cup focuses on the other 98% of business startups. And while bootcamps and weekend challenges are all the rage, StartUp Cup understands that businesses need more support over the long haul. So, is StartUp Cup the answer to our current economic woes?

(12:35) Is there a fee for a community to get involved and gain access to all of this and gain access to the StartUp Cup name? (13:20) Is this something that you feel is limited to your local geography?  Or are there other ways to define what type you’d like to do?  Like an online community StartUp Cup or can a vendor do a StartUp Cup for the customers it has? (15:18) There are some other startup events and competitions out there.  How does StartUp Cup differ from something like Startup Weekend or a business plan competition? (18:09) What types of entrepreneurs and businesses would be involved in something like StartUp Cup?  How would you describe them?
