Startup Weekend Atlanta

One of the biggest challenges — among many — at Startup Weekend, is building strong teams from scratch.  When each team is all working on the same page, and there are fruitful interactions between teams, it’s a beautiful thing.  When all four teams are trying to do the same thing, it’s not pretty, and leads to a lot of lost time and productivity (and isn’t so great for morale either.)

Admittedly, there’s a lot of overlap between the groups, and there’s also a lot of overlap between the talents everyone brings.   But the quicker each team, and each individual on that team, has a specific and well-defined role, the better.  It’s happening here now, so now everyone is trying to let go of the instances where it didn’t happen (and they are legion.)  There’s too much left to do to hang on to any frustration.
