A week from now we are going to fill a boat with almost 100 entrepreneurs and set sail towards an intensive day. During 24 hours we will develop business ideas on the internet, services will be built and they are all going to be launched. It´s a wonderfully ambitious project! Bordering to craziness, but the good kind of crazy!

The whole project took its start the 26th of October 2008 when Ted Valentin wrote a blog post about developing business ideas in 24 hours. It felt spot on and I announced our interest to participate immediately. Shortly after the announcement we took the decision that Mindpark should step forward as the first main sponsor of the event. A week later, Ted opened the project blog and named it “ 24 hour business camp”.

Big name players gradually signed up, for instance main sponsors Bonnier, Binero, Telenor and product sponsors Google, Hasseludden Yasuragi and Get a Newsletter. Press and blogs seem to like what we are about to do. Among others Svenska Dagbladet paid attention to the event, as did DI (don’t miss out on the comments to the article). The whole event will be covered live at live.24hourbusinesscamp.com by Beata Wickbom and the people at Arctic Startup (the Techcrunch of the Nordic region).

But that’s not enough! In the long list of participants you find people from all around the country, but as far as I am aware the event hasn’t drawn any attention outside of the main cities. Of course it’s more fun to write about the project when it has succeeded, but why not join in from the beginning? If a local talent is brave enough to promise a new business idea in 24 hours, one deserves to get mentioned in the local newspaper. Don’t you agree?
