I found this good article today:

I hope that by telling you this story, you can make sure it doesn’t happen to you. It’s the story of the Boomerang Founder.Colorado Startups, Dec 2008

You should read the whole article. Good advice that can save you time and money.

It’s time to apply for participation in Startup Sweden Göteborg 2008. The event will be held October 17-20.

It will be a slightly modified version of the event with 4 competing teams. The winning team will be presented at the event Entreprenörsdagen 2008 in Göteborg.

The Live Market is the name of the startup that I have been planning with my good friend Niklas Larsson (author of Is the coffee still warm?) since sometime around March. It’s the service that online vendors has been waiting for. They just don’t know it yet. Do you know anyone who is selling online? Tell them to sign up for our updates!

We will be posting these updates as we make progress. Go to TheLiveMarket.com and give us your e-mail address to be notified! You will also be invited to our private beta as soon as we get there.

Startup Weekend

I have been discussing the possibility of hosting a Startup Weekend in Kalmar with a few people. It seems to interest them. It’s very tempting to follow through and so I will continue to evaluate the possibilities, talk to people and see what happens. Let me know if you want to participate and/or help out with the event.

I got back from Hamburg monday evening. The Startup Weekend was great fun! For those of you who don’t know what a Startup Weekend is, you can check out http://www.startupweekend.com. We created a service called Edelbild, which enhances pictures. Unfortunately we didn’t get to launch it during the weekend, but a beta version is in the works and will hopefully appear on http://www.edelbild.de in the not-so-distant future. Media was present to cover the weekend action. Here is a slideshow with audio interviews from ZDF:
