#3daystartup

I was traveling through from Yellow Stone to NYC and landed in Rapid City. My original plan was to check out MT Rushmore and then check out @badlandsnps drive through Chicago etc. However, I saw an event for the three day startup weekend @startupweekend here. I have participated, pitched, built an MVP, and won the 2nd place a few years ago back in Wilmington. My company was called Bee Safe Dating. We are here to make dating better and end the download delete and redownload of Tinder by making Dating safer. The app was designed to have 3rd party verified background checks on users plus the added feature of STD checks and eventually credit card score etc. Target market is for post-college graduates and professionals that want something more serious while skipping the awkward phase and later finding out their dream guy or girl has a criminal background. . This weekend, I joined a team where we will be creating a keyless Car Entrance system based on local stored finger or handprint technology. I have already met some of the most beautiful people in the start-up world, and I know in my core, I am a rogue economist, entrepreneur, and educator. . Remember. If you are in your 20s, its not even the first quarter. If you are in your 40s, it's not even half time. Let's get this gluten-free bread. #startupweekend #startup #3daystartup #developers #webdesigners #marketing #business #entrepreneurs #swbh19 #startuplab #siliconvalley #techstartup #pitch (at Evergreen Media) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ZOIyHFh3T/?igshid=1p66lsg687d2n

This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to develop my entrepreneurial skills at @3daystartup. My team and I were able to not only learn key business concepts like customer discovery and rapid prototyping, but also work in an environment completed dominated by a drive to be involved in startup culture 💡✨🔧 Check out more about my experience at tinyurl.com/3dscornell and hey, maybe you’ll see these faces on the back of phone cases sold near you 💸 #3daystartup #learnbydoing (at Cornell University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqI2iO4Bilt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qhtglma8is6s

Our team also got out of the building to focus on market validation. We talked to dozens of potential clients and used all the feedback to further our startup idea. On the final day we presented our project to a panel of top-notch entrepreneurs and investors. The feedback and advice we received was priceless. In the end our team was awarded a gold-plated Redbull Award for never giving up and staying up until 6AM in order to put together a proof of concept prototype for the final presentation.

Chromemote’s founder Robert Dale Smith writes in the posts comments to continue to develop the project and promises the addition of customized buttons and shortcuts.

Chromemote (Mote) 3DayStartup Final Presentation at the University of Houston

40 UH students from all educational disciplines were recruited to form teams taking their ideas to the next level in a presentation to angel investors and venture capitalists.

That made the computer science and entrepreneurship student a perfect candidate for 3 Day Startup (3DS). Smith was one of 40 students who participated in the first 3DS hosted by the college’s Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship and staged on campus over the April 20-22 weekend.
