Startup Weekend Toronto: Picking the Idea

So I’m here at Startup Weekend Toronto - I’ve been here for a few days sightseeing and such, and I decided I need to make an effort to document what’s happening. I’m going to quickly breeze through some of this to catch up to where we are currently…

We got here at 6, did introductions, and started picking ideas around 7pm. The organizers had the idea pool narrowed down to about 10 or so ideas. We did pitches for the ideas, and then a bunch of new ones were added which increased the idea pool. We did a vote with paper slips (A rudimentary VoSnap) (four votes per person) and narrowed it down to five ideas (and of course 2-3 more were added after the fact). Pizza and beer arrived, and we discussed the idea among groups to get get opinions among a smaller group.

A rudimentary VoSnap :)

We just did another vote (two votes per person) and narrowed the ideas down to two: Lobby Them and Product Ads. We’re currently breaking up into groups again to discuss the pros and cons of both, after which we’ll have another quick vote and make the final decision. I’ll write another post as we reconvene.
