As I sit here with 75% of my laptop battery left, drenched in sweat, in a totally dark house, recapping my first Startup Weekend experience unfortunately I am one of the last of the 500,000 central Ohioans affected by power outages due to last weekend's storms I realize that I love the Startup Weekend concept.That concept, which we have covered before on several occasions, is simple: take a bunch of people with ideas and lock them into a room for 54 hours until the create something. The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation funds a brilliant model. It gets people to do stuff, make stuffa push to action.At a local level, I've seen enough success stories like Cannon.fm, Venueseen and Fundable emerge from the platform that I was intrigued to attend the event when it traveled to Columbus Ohio. I'm a big believer in rapid prototyping and I found that StartupWeekend is rapid prototyping for businesses.
