Birmingham Startup project pitchhad to figure out how... I had originally thought to embed the audio within the PowerPoint file itself. That didn’t transfer automatically into SlideShare, so I had to then export the PPT to a web page, grab all the audio files (in .wma format no less), string them together in MixMeister, and export as an MP3 file. Then, I had to find a hosting service for the file. Once that was done, the timing tool in SlideShare was a breeze!!!3 years ago

Birmingham Startup project pitchThe “Birmingham Model” of the StartupWeekend concept, started in Boulder Colorado this past June.
In the Birmingham model, three teams are selected to present on Sunday evening of the “Business Dev” weekend. All developers watch a webcast of the presentations and then vote on which project to implement the following weekend... majority wins. The winning business team uses the week to further tweak their product spec in time for the Implementation Weekend.3 years ago
