First ever startup weekend in Dallas kicked off yesterday evening. Over 50 energetic and enthusiastic folks got together at Infomart over pizza and drinks, eager to pitch their ideas and to network. I think this is a great time for Dallas Fort Worth to build on the momentum that some of the successful local entrepreneurs have provided.  I enjoyed spending time with Marc, Gabriella, Steve, Ryan, Eddy, Alex and meeting Blake, Seth, John P, Jake, Jordan and  many others who were there.

There was a presentation by John P of Woopra, followed by 90 seconds pitches for ideas. The 25 or so ideas got interesting comments and responses by the crowd. Overall it was fun and interesting. Voting for the top ideas began around 9pm with each participant getting 2 dollar bills to stuff in the envelope of their favorite idea.

As you can see here, the brainstorming has already started. Let’s see how thing progress over the weekend!
