A huge thank you from this event to Sun Startup Essentials, sfCUBE, Trivium, SuperRewards, Cooley Godward Kronish, Orange, Twilio, Funding Roadmap, Venture 360, HiBall Energy Drinks, Flippa, and United Layer.

Allright everyone! A HUGE congratulations is in order for Escape My Date and FoodSpotting! Escape My Date got a FREE one month tenure offered to them by PlugandPlayTechCenter where they will have access to amazing resources and immerse themselves in the startup world where they can grow quickly and successfully.
As a complete unknown, Foodspotting was actually invested in Sunday night shortly after their presentation by an angel investor who was present. Look for these guys in the news!
All of these teams were offered one month free at sfCUBE in San Francisco to continue their efforts!
Great job teams! You seriously rocked this weekend! Be sure to take advantage of the resources provided and KEEP WORKING on your projects!
See you call September 23rd back at sfCUBE starting at 6pm!

Day 1 Roundup from Thunderberry!
“It’s coming up to 11:30 PST on the first day of Startup Weekend, which is as close as this is going to come to an “end” – The location for this year’s event is SFCube, which in true entrepreneurial spirit is open 24 hours a day. Want to work for 48 hours straight on nothing but beer and red bull? No problem.
The event has been a rowdy success so far, with 39 ideas pitched and only 10 deadpools before the end of the evening. Most groups will rejoin tomorrow morning to solidify their feature set and make the first steps toward a real product.
Read on for the full list of ideas pitched:”
Posted by Startup Weekend Crew
We are getting really excited! 130 attendees signed up and counting. Hurry and get your tickets if you have not already! Be sure to check out the Friday night pitch format and come ready and willing!
sfCUBE will be open 24/7, so if you are planning to really get some work done, bring a bean bag chair or pillow!
Also, we want to make sure we are overprepared if anything, so if you have any of the following items and can bring them just to use for the weekend, please let me know!
- Wireless Routers (need about 3 more – Wireless N prefferd)
- Extra power strip and extension cords
- Extra Eathernet cables
We will see everyone at sfCUBE Friday night starting at 5:30!
The Startup Weekend crew says you rock.
