Summary: Startup Weekend, a weekend long intense process to launch projects into high gear. We talked with Clint Nelsen, one of the founders of Startup Weekend in its current form, about the exciting journey so far, with a glimpse into the future and everything that it entails. We touched on many different aspects of the process, differences in contexts and practical examples. The sense of community is strong with Startup Weekend covering over 15 000 entrepreneurs in over 100 cities around the world. If someone still has doubts that the future will be built by communities.. Listen to the podcast in the player below. Some quotes from the episode: “The local team there, got government approval from Israel and Palestine to bus 30 palestinians into Israel for the weekend.. // .. It was amazing. People weren’t talking about politics at all, they were just talking about tech startups.” “I’m working on organizing Startup Weekend Space..” “I’ve learned the world is really flat. People are thinking about a lot of the same problems.” “I would like to see Startup Weekend be the place where someone, that has any value add to a new startup, goes.. // .. where we’re connecting, basically connecting the free agents.”
