Spynnr Wins
Startup Weekend www.startupweekend.com occured this past weekend in Memphis and there was no surprise in seeing firsthand what was accomplished. Having 100 entrepreneurs of all business disciplines come together and actually create a company was an impressive feat. The winning idea was Spynnr www.spynnr.com ...a Facebook app for sports enthusiasts which manages the scheduling of games in local areas as well as rates individual performance levels by player. Im hopeful that the company will take off as there are others already in this space...which helps with validation and demand..
There were a lot of other great ideas that were brought forth and Im looking forward to seeing some of these ideas be further evaluated and cultivated into hopefully something more than just an idea. Sustainability will be the next opportunity/challenge of all the great stuff that came out of this weekend and im greatly encouraged that several other noteworthy startups will be launched in due time. mentors and angels be on the alert!
Congrats to Eric Mathews and the founding team http://www.launchmemphis.com/about/ for making this happen...as there is a lot more to do in keeping and building on the momentum that has been created!!
