SeedCamp – Tech Dating!
SeedCamp Season is now upon us again! The applications officially opened on 30th June ‘08, and the official deadline is 23:59 10th August.. I wonder if that’s GMT or BST?? Well, it sure seems like only yesterday, when fuelled by the possibility of launching through SeedCamp that I seized my idea, and started desperately looking for the right team of developers, and programmers to work with.. And it looks like a year later, I’ve yet to find the right combination… I went to South Africa for a few months at the end of last year, in the hopes of meeting some developers interested in creating technology that would lead to collaborative knowledge sharing, but left there disappointed, with nothing solid to work with. Since then, I’ve worked in two full time jobs (not at the same time!), met a great developer, who just can’t afford to work for free, and have started refining the idea a little more, in terms of breaking it down into smaller and smaller pieces. And yet, I guess it’s become an obsession of mine, to find someone who I can work with, and having gotten married a few months ago, I’ve lost the ability to take a gamble, and work on my project, without a job anymore… Now that I’m looking after my wife too, I’m going to have to make sure I keep paying the bills, and clearing off some of that debt I accrued, whilst travelling, or volunteering…
Well, I guess the good news is, I’ve found a new form of dating that might provide the answer.. and no, before you all start thinking that perhaps, I’m being unfaithful, it’s not that kind of dating!! No, SeedCamp Tech-Dating is for potential Entrepreneurs/Business Minded individuals with ideas, techies, and Graphics Designers/UI designers to come together, and work the floor, in a sort of speed-dating kinda manner, pitching your idea, your needs, and searching for the right partners to come together with, and create a founding team with, that you can apply to SeedCamp with…
I think the idea’s legendary, and can’t wait to see who else comes along.. in the meantime, to help promote the event, I’ll be sure to spread the word across my networks, and see who might come crawling out of the woodworks, to come and join in…
