The Future…
Posted on | December 8, 2009 | 6 Comments
So, after the eBay sale, and all the hype, our attention is turning to what we do next with www.24hour-startup.com.
People have asked us if we’d do it again… and while we all thought it was awesome, and would recommend it to anyone, the general feeling is that we’ve done it already, so don’t need to put ourselves through the ordeal again!
Instead, we’ve been thinking about making it bigger and better for 2010. Here’s what we’re thinking for now – we’ll blog developments as and when there are any:
- We want lots of people to be involved. Wouldn’t it be cool if 24hour-startup became a global event?
- In fact we want it to be open for anyone to take part – perhaps we just provide a toolkit / pack to get them started.
- We could make it competitive – teams could duke it out LIVE on a cool website we make, right here.
- It would be awesome if there was a prize for the winning team.
- …and if we’re going to do all that we’ll need a sponsor!
If you’re interested – either taking part or sponsoring – please email Rob and he’ll get back to you.

Firstly a big congratulations to all involved – both the creators and the new owners. I’ve bookmarked DrHue.com so I can keep an eye on any developments.
Secondly, I think it’s a great idea to see whether this could be recycled and/or developed further.
Why not branch out into other facets? Does it have to be web-only? What about a super-aggregator (collecting all info from all aggregators and dropping it into 1 result)? Maybe a real-time web strategy game based on real-world mapping data (though I think that’s been done)?
Whatever comes of it, I’m hooked.

An awesome idea that you’re planning. And an awesome project you carried on! Cheers! I live a little too far away and I don’t have a lot of knowledge on this matter but I’ve been looking towards opening my own personal business, web based… And you were a great source of inspiration
