Women 2.0 “Will It Launch?” workshop (Feb. 6-7 in SF) February 6, 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 on Saturday, February 6th, 2010 and Sunday, February 7th, 2010 in Microsoft's San Francisco office. The "Will It Launch?" workshop will be led by serial entrepreneurs David Weekly (Founder & CEO, PBworks) and Poornima Vijayashanker (Founding Engineer, Mint).
We will be working on a battle plan to quickly assess and iterate on startup ideas. We will also work on perfecting your startup pitch so you can leave the workshop fully armed and ready to find co-founders, customers, investors, volunteers, the like-minded -- anyone who will help you launch 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.
You may attend as an individual (female). Or your entire team may attend (if you have at least one female on the founding team). Please make note of your team when you purchase tickets.

What to expect:
- A supportive, interactive, and overall collaborative working environment
- Potential co-founders, like-minded people, future customers
- Leadership by successful serial entrepreneurs
- Refining your pitch and practicing presenting it to a large audience
- Job announcements, volunteer recruitment, team building
