Startup Camp Australia
Is it possible to start a business from scratch and have it ready to sell the next day? Almost, if you ask the 40 or so participants of Startup Camp Australia in Sydney. By 7pm on Friday night, they were in lockdown: complete strangers had been rounded up into teams - on one side of each table were the programmers, the other, the marketers. All knew that the next day their ideas would be scrutinized by traditional media, the blogosphere and financiers. The journalists, bloggers and venture capitalists had already been invited.
