Unlike The Apprentice, BootUp doesn’t need Donald Trump to fire people – sometimes startups unravel all by themselves.
Of the 6 startups founded last night, 1 has already collapsed under the pressure. It seems the 3 person team couldn’t agree on the focus of the business and decided to part ways.
But the other 5 are going STRONG! Jon Buford has been mentoring the startups since 9am today and by the time Casey (me) and Gene Soo got there in the late afternoon all of them had sound business models and plans – some were still deciding on the name, one had already designed a character mascot and another had changed their Zero Day concept into something even more exciting.
So it seems the first full day was very productive and we’ll see what happens tomorrow at 5pm when we do our judging! Enjoy a few photos – and yes Boot is relatively tidy, and I only spotted one beer can!
