This week, to continue our series on cutting-edge Agile, Lindsay LaShell will show us what it’s like to reduce a development cycle of intense of innovation and development into 54 hours.
To hear all about Startup Weekend, join us this Thursday, February 5th at 6pm, at the offices of Mitchell International. Pizza and beer will be provided courtesy of VersionOne. Please RSVP to [email protected] ~ Startup Weekend: An Agile Microcosm ~ Startup weekend was founded in 2007 with the goal of bringing people together and empowering them to create a startup in 54 hours. Even though many participants attend only with the goals of expanding their networks and their skillset, the Startup Weekend website says that over 36% of Startup Weekend startups are still going strong after 3 months, and roughly 80% of participants plan on continuing working with their team or startup after the weekend. How can real business be established on such an insane timeline? This talk takes you through the ways that Startup Weekend teaches and encourages Lean and Agile approaches over the course of a very intense weekend. ~ Bio ~ Lindsay Dayton LaShell began her career in technology way back in the Bay Area in the late nineties. Since then, she’s worked for funded startups, bootstrapped projects and marketing agencies, with a brief detour into the wilds of public education. Now, she uses her diverse background to help clients craft meaningful and efficient approaches to their digital marketing. Always a participant and planner in community events, she attended her first Startup Weekend in 2008 and is currently the lead organizer for an upcoming Startup Weekend, focused on encouraging and empowering female entrepreneurship in San Diego. When she’s not planning an event or writing a strategy brief, Lindsay will probably be in North Park, eating, drinking and knitting with her unassuming husband Paul and her adorable dog, Waffles. The meeting will begin at 6pm at Mitchell International on Greenwich Drive.
