Editor's Notes
- What to do: Use this slide as participants register and come into the venue. (before the presentation). Throw on some Music to set the tone for the weekend. Music https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n7EyE_mOpB_oPoUtTEHRPGQnx12d9b084o4WrU5hrt0/edit?usp=sharing
- What to Do: Startup Weekends are meant to be a safe place to bring people together to learn, build, and grow. Give a quick overview of Startup Weekend and the scale of our events. Example Talking points So what is Startup Weekend all about? Startup Weekend is one of the leading catalysts for startup creation and entrepreneurial education around the world. Our mission is to educate and inspire entrepreneurs and give them the motivation and networking opportunities they need to take the next step in creating a successful startup company. Founded in 2007, we’ve since become a registered non-profit and focused on expanding our model to become a global, hyper-local grassroots movement. Some quick facts:- [Updated August 2014] Startup Weekend has helped educate & inspire almost 150,000 entrepreneurs - We’ve had over 1900 events in over 127 countries to date. Over 3000 organizers and volunteers that are the driving force in Startup Weekend’s success- Over 1500 ventures have been launched at Startup Weekend’s around the globe.
- Now’s the time to challenge Participants: What are their goals for the weekend? Challenge attendee’s to challenge themselves. The more they put into the weekend, the better the experience. Example talking points: Why are you here? What is your end goal for the weekend? What you can expect to get out of the weekend: Education Build your network Co-Founder Dating Learn a new Skill Launch a Business! Mentorship Have fun!
- What do you need to tell Everyone about Venue or Logistics for the weekend? Trash? Cleaning up instructions? Where are the bathrooms? Any areas off limits? When does the venue open/close?
- What to Do: Introduce yourself! This is your chance to tell the group a little more about yourself. Tips on sharing: Stories from past SW’s are great Keep it light & fun (odd hobbies and facts can be memorable). Stay Humble! (The weekends about the attendees, not you).
- Edit: You can usually scrape the teams info from the local event site. What to Do: Introduce the organizers! Give them the credit they deserve. Example talking points: Can I get all the organizers and volunteers to please stand up. Look around the room, these are the people that made this event possible. If you have any questions, or need help during the weekend these are the people to talk to.
- Add your event’s local sponsors. (usual you can scape their logos from the event site). What to say: Talk with your organizers before the event to determine what you need to say (they most likely will have key points they want to address). If you have a local sponsor present, they may want to say a few words - if they do, remember its your job to protect the attendee’s experience! Help them keep it short.

- [Prefer Rock, Paper Scissors? - It’s in the Appendix] Setup: You’ll need some markers and easel board paper or a white board. We recommend using 2 additional volunteers to help. Before you start, pre-populate the paper with a few nouns and adjectives (the more obscure the better). Playing the game Set up the easel board/whiteboard in the front of the stage. Ask the crowd to shout out words (adjectives & nouns). If people are shy, you may have to call on people directly. While asking for words, have your two volunteers writing down all the words shouted (its helpful to have two people to speed up the writing). Aim for getting 20-30 words. Break everyone up into groups of roughly 4-5 people, Have everyone in the group introduce themselves. Ask each group to select a leader, have them come up and select two words from the given list. Give each team 5 minutes to create a Startup with their two words. After 5 minutes, give each team 30 seconds to “pitch” their startup, business model and logo to the group.

- We run a Launchpad on afternoon before SWWLG where you can pre-meet people over a casual beverage.
- Got an idea in Enviro-tech? Going to Startup Weekend Environment? Both? If you're interested in how hardware can harness and improve our natural world, come and join us at 1st Assembly - Wellington's hardware community and hub. Pest control, waste management, remote communications...are but a few starting points for hardware innovation. Join a number of industry experts for a day (with lunch included) of exploring : • idea starting points • the potential of technology • trends within Enviro-tech Whether or not you have a ticket for SW Environment (you can get one here) - come along to share, listen and learn.
- What to Do 60 seconds cut off Keep energy high, and keep it fun. What to say: Pitches are a first vital step to finding and building your team for the weekend. You're going to come up here, say who you are, THE NAME OF YOUR COMPANY/PRODUCT, the problem you are solving, how you are going to solve it, what you're good at, and who you are looking for. You each get 60 seconds to pitch, which we have a timer. As soon as the time is up, I'll start clapping. You'll grab a piece of paper with your company name on it and go back to your seat until the end of pitches.
- Explain how to pitch! Help explain best practices and how to keep their pitch clean and concise. It’s always helpful to walk through an example pitch. What to Say Remember people are here to have a great time, so have plenty of energy, make it fun, and stand out amongst your peers. If you're listening to ideas, take notes on the people and ideas that jump out at you. You will have a chance to find out more after pitches are done.
- The Friday Schedule: ---- Longer version We are going to pitch ideas, vote, form teams then get on your way. When you get into teams, everyone on your team is going to braindump every feature they can think of, just get it all out. Then you'll spend a few minutes cutting them all away as you prioritize and refine until you hone on your weekend MVP - minimum viable product. What you can actually deliver this weekend. If your team starts to argue, and they will, work out a voting process (thumb up / thumb down, majority wins). Don't spend more than a few moments getting perspectives and MOVE ON. For the love of God, do not spend more than 10 minutes figuring out a name. It's ok if it changes later. The goal is to build enough to be able to tell your story.
- Dont forget! People have no idea what is going on. Help them plan their weekend. Tomorrow doors open at X am for breakfast, and at X am will go through getting the most out of Saturday. There is some great information here, do not miss it. Same goes for Sunday, we will meet together at 10am and go over how to best deliver your presentation. Let's get to pitching!
