Who will own it?
Everybody who participates will get founders stock, and as it is set up, everyone that shows up and participates gets an equal share.
How do you make decisions?
Vote. Majority wins (we only have the weekend).
Who is behind it?
Startup Weekend was conceived by Andrew Hyde of Boulder. Lance Weatherby contacted Andrew to bring the concept to Atlanta. There will be a host of local entrepreneurs, designers, coders, hackers, and other good people involved in the project. If you have some time and want to step up and help bring this together let us know.
How do I explain it to friends?
Hackathon meets BarCamp? BarCamp with an exit plan? Something really fun to do one weekend? It is up to you, just make sure to sign up.
What are you making?
On Friday night we will get together and hear 3 pitches of ideas that were narrowed down on a password protected wiki that will be created shortly. At this point we don’t know what will be created. It will most likely be a web application. If you have any killer ideas you want to see be built in a weekend let us know about them.
When is it over?
Sunday we will freeze the project and be done with it. Someone might want to continue with the project, but as a participant you should plan and expect a Sunday night completion date.
What happens after the weekend?
Anybody who wants to “run with this startup” can negotiate to take management stock with the founders from the weekend.
If you have other questions please submit them in the comments and we will add to the FAQ.
