It’s not really about the idea.Q: Can I work on my idea even if it’s not selected?A: Only if you can get another two people on your teamQ: Can I use any props or PowerPoint when I’m pitching?A: Props are OK, slides are not. You only have one minute!Q: What happens after Startup Weekend?A: That’s entirely up to you! We’ll have a reunion though.
F.A.Q.
Q: What about my intellectual property?A: It’s probably better out than in.
Q: Do I have to share equity with my teammates?A: The “Golden Rule” should apply, but it’s up to you. Reach quick verbal agreement up front, and don’t team up with assholes.
