Corvallis-Benton County Economic Development Partnership (EDP)

On Dec 4-6, a group of 38 people gathered together at Belle Vallee Winery to explore the process of going from idea to revenue at the first Corvallis Startup Weekend. At the same time, people in Boston and in Paris were also exploring the same question.

Teams gathered on Friday night to brainstorm differrent possible projects. Of the 17 projects proposed , the teams formed up around several core projects:

* WebProjectWizard - http://www.webprojectwizard.com
* RSVPmadeEasy - http://www.rsvpmadeeasy.com
* Related Folks - http://visualgeneology.relatedfolks.com
* Hour li - http://www.hour.li
* Sherpa Dask - http://www.sherpadash.com
* Montessori Apps - http://www.montessoriapps.com

Each of the teams have put up websites and all have twitter addresses.

At this point in the project, the teams are heads down writing code, doing marketing plans, building social media buzz and moving forward. We will do another report out for over dinner. And this is just on Saturday, we have a whole day more to go.

Will any of these projects make it all the way to revenue? At this point, only one of the sites has a pay pal button up and working….. Soon there will be more.
