November 20-22: Women 2.0 Startup Sandbox

Our last Women 2.0 Startup Weekend in August spawned 19 startups—and we are doing it again this November 20-22, 2009!

Hosted by Women 2.0 and Hackfest for the Light, Startup Sandbox will give individuals or teams a unique opportunity to work on ideas and launch startups.

If you have an idea, bring your idea. If not, bring your skill set and find a great team at Startup Sandbox! Both women and men are invited to attend. Snacks and lunch will be provided.

Reasons to attend:
1.) Make a working prototype
2.) Create an investor presentation
3.) Come with your company and get feedback
4.) Come with an idea to make a mock up
5.) Practice and learn new skills

There will be office hours with angel investors, lawyers, and developers to synergize entrepreneurs, programmers, and designers putting their skills toward socially responsible software projects.
