This is what a weekend can do. WhyPost went from a Friday night pitch about small businesses struggling to get seen online to a working social media tool by Sunday, one that gives small teams the reach of companies ten times their size.
Second runner up at the first @Techstars @StartupWeekend Startup Weekend in the Isle of Man and Crown Dependencies, and a proper example of an idea finding its team. Congrats, team. Keep going.

By Sunday, Biosphere Beacons had built a free public directory that scores organisations on real sustainability measures, using the 17 UN Global Goals and the government's own climate methodology.
And taken first runner up at the first @StartupWeekend in the Isle of Man and Crown Dependencies. Fitting work for a UNESCO Biosphere nation. Brilliant stuff, team.

Sunday 12 July was quite the night. ProfitM8 started as a 60-second pitch on the Friday evening, an idea about helping small businesses price for profit instead of guessing. A team formed around it that night, and by Sunday the idea was a working product in front of the judges.
54 hours from first pitch to winning the first @StartupWeekend in the Isle of Man and Crown Dependencies. Massive congratulations, team.

Sunday is pitch day. After 54 hours of building, five teams took the stage at Launchpad, Douglas to pitch to our judging panel, scored on customer validation, execution and design, and business model.

Day 2 recap of Startup Weekend Douglas.
Saturday was build day. Teams spent it out of the building, talking to real customers and testing whether their ideas held up, and got their heads down with our mentors at Launchpad. Some pivoted. All of them came back sharper.
