I went to Startup Winnipeg Weekend which ran from Friday evening to Sunday evening.
After attending the first Startup Winnipeg, and getting reamed out by the judges, I was a little older and wiser about boiling down 54 frantic hours of work to vet and present an idea in five minutes to judges who are just as ferocious as the investors on Dragons Den.
The team I was on worked well together and I was on the business model side of things trying to make sure the presentation was top notch, and while we didn't make it into the top three, the app idea our team presented is still worth pursuing and who knows where it will go.
In some respects the educational and networking potential of Startup Winnipeg is more important to me then winning any of the top three prizes aside from bragging rights.
Oh, a couple of groups really did get reamed out this time still.
The next Startup Winnipeg might be happening in April.
Time to think of some new biz ideas!
