DISQUS

Jesse Rodgers · 2 years ago

Not sure where I would fit in the ticket set up (organizer of BarCampWaterloo and StartupCampWaterloo) but I would like to attend... Maybe Guru? Sold out though. Damn.

Are you going to implement some of the feedback suggestions from StartupCampWaterloo?

Guess I'm not coming, since there are no more guru or entrepreneur spots (and "Fabtastic Dudes" isn't a category) :( :( :(

Hah!. We will be releasing some more tickets when we prune the list of people who signed up in the wrong categories.

This is awesome!

First a celebration that somebody is doing this. We've had a lot of startup DNA in the TorCamp/DemoCampToronto blog. But it is fantastic that you guys are taking the lead.

Secondly, this is not DemoCamp. This is for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. AWESOME!

Thanks Jevon and Jonas.

Should be a lot of fun! Great idea.

I love the idea, but can't help but feel it would be quite unfortunate if the founder of the next youtube/google/etc... was not allowed to come to the meeting because they hadn't had their epiphany yet.

(Disclaimer: I am working on a startup, but it’s not Google or Youtube sized)

Ari: I understand what you are saying, completely. However, the format of this event is such that it requires audience participation to work. We gave away student tickets for people who aren't experienced in the startup world, but other than that we need to have people in the audience who can offer credible advice/feedback.

The other thing is that there is a submission process for presenting companies, so if you have the next Google and you submit it, you can still get in. It is up to the audience, and they can vote for ideas or established companies,. it's up to them.

Thanks for the reply Jevon - I understand the predicament you are in, as I have noticed some other “truly open” events get watered down by having too diverse an audience in attendance. Although I value the input of outsiders’ viewpoints, I understand why you made the decision you did –

Cheers again on taking the initiative to get this event going -

Can someone take the time to video+audio record the meeting and post it to the web?

Is there a waiting list for this? I'm totally late, I know, but it's literally in my backyard. No "neighbour" tickets available?
