Los Angeles Startup Weekend

Here’s some biz stuff circa 10:00am. World, StartupWeekend is officially the only allowed time to utter “ugh, that was so two hours ago.” Thanks for abiding by the new rules.

Here’s the subject list of the meeting:

• Company Name
• Biz Plan
• Monetization (Ad Network vs. Ad Sales vs. Sponsorship)
• Write basic game copy
• Do we build a website?
• What are our product names and categories?
  • Dev liaison updates us on what avenues they are going down (and invites us to play in 10 minutes, Yay!)

Marketing/PR is taking a standard web2.0 route of targeting Digg, Del.icio.us, Facebook, blog mentions. Rana explains Facebook invites, which we all agree needs to be the biggest area. Now we will get to writing press releases targeted at different audiences. Our first game is targeted towards teen women, and that will be one area of focus. Also we will target Celebrity

I know I’m in LA, Bizdev leadership asks if we know anyone famous that we can ask to play this game” and two people step up saying that indeed they do. Here’s hoping that one of those celebrities is Corey Feldman. I stopped blogging, in interest of going to play our game. Wheeeee! I feel like a kid again.
