Women 2.0 “Will It Launch?” Workshop — February 6-7, 2010
Ideas are a dime a dozen, and we know talk is cheap. Execution makes you money. So how do you know which startup idea to focus on for success?

Join Women 2.0 for a two-day workshop Saturday, February 6, 2010, and Sunday, February 7, 2010, in Microsoft’s San Francisco office. The “Will It Launch?” workshop will be led by serial entrepreneurs David Weekly (founder and CEO, PBworks) and Poornima Vijayashanker (founding engineer, Mint), who will deploy a battle plan to quickly assess and iterate on startup ideas.

We will also be working on perfecting that startup pitch so you leave the workshop armed and ready to find co-founders, customers, investors, volunteers, the like-minded — anyone who will help you launch and or buy your product.

Who should attend: future startup founders with ideas or existing startup founders with ideas already in alpha or beta stage across Web, mobile, cleantech or biotech.
