What happens next?
The teams walked out with more than prizes. Some walked out with co-founders. All of them walked out knowing they can take an idea a very long way in a weekend, which changes what feels possible on a Monday morning. Was this the first Startup Weekend in the Isle of Man and Crown Dependencies? Yes. Will it be the last? Not if the energy in that room on Sunday night is anything to go by. If you have an idea sitting in a notebook, keep an eye on startupweekenddouglas.im. Next time, that 60-second pitch could be yours.
