Congratulations to the 6 startups that put an entire business plan together over 48 hours at BootUp 2!
These people had the stamina and the ideas to pull together and create some of the most exciting startups that we’ve seen and definitely impressed us more than BootUp 1 – and those were awesome too, but these ones seemed polished and all the presentations were done perfectly.
We’ll be posting more photos and videos here over time but we wanted to do shout-outs to each of the teams first (in alphabetical order):

We were amazed at the ideas that came out of 48 hours – all of these startups can go on to be real businesses rivaling anything out of Silicon Valley and we understand one of the participants quit his job this morning and is going full time on his start-up! So awesome and so inspiring.
More information coming soon and if you want to get involved next time – the NEXT BootUp will be around May/June.
