After a long break, the Startup Weekend guys are returning to the Washington, DC for round 2. The last time they were around the event got very mixed reviews for a variety of reasons. For starters, the startup that the DC group spawned (Hola Neighbor) – it failed. As an attendee the main benefit wasn’t starting a company or even learning how to start a company. Instead it turned out to be a great networking event and quite probably an amazing scouting event for TechStars (Andrew Hyde, the event organizer is and was their employee). This time around ticket prices are set at $75 per person. At that price the event appears to be more of a TechStars fundraiser than anything else. We wish them the best of luck this time around, but will be watching from the sidelines as we invest our $75 in bootstrapping our own efforts. The last time around the cover charge was much more reasonable.
