The folks at my day job have put together an event about how to run a successful start up. It's during SXSW, but doesn't require a badge. And, it's co-hosted by a local business, Spredfast. Please attend if you're interested.
http://aarpstartups.eventbrite.com/ What My Gray Hairs Know About Founding a Startup So you've got the idea that'll make you rich and famous. You've got your friend who can make the app, and your other friend who knows the right people. You've got the website built, tweets scheduled, and you've called your accountant already. You've called your uncle, who called his best friend, who let you pitch your idea - and voila, you have funding. Check, check, check. What to do when Facebook steals your idea? What do you say to the lifetime friend who isn't pulling their weight? If someone offers to buy your company, how do you know when to say no? We collected a few people who know a little something about a lot of sweat, startups, and building a company from the ground up. They'll tell you how they've failed, their worst regrets, the successes they're most proud of, and the things they wish they knew when they were starting their first business.
