Tonight I’ll be in Tampa to attend my second Startup Weekend. I attended my first one in Orlando a few weekends ago and meet some talented and motivated entrepreneurs, just look at these ideas:

The top three of Startup Weekend Orlando:

1. MoleShopper: Mystery shopping can be frustrating when you are asked to remember long and complicated surveys. Mole Shopper allows mystery shoppers to record accurate data on site while conducting shops. http://moleshopper.com

2. PicStory: Pictures with a voice http://www.picstory.us/

3. Tamposh: Tampon subscription service: High Quality, Low Cost, Convenient tampons direct to your door. http://www.tamposh.com/

Followed by:

4. StuffNet: We make a marketplace for “transferable credits” that companies can issue and sell to consumers in order to get working capital. We’ll use decentralized transaction technology based on Bitcoin and Ripple to make this online marketplace secure and easy to use. http://stuffnet.info/

5. Date-A-Base: The website/mobile application that has all of your bases covered, to ensure you hit a home run on your next date!

6. I Gotta Pee: A mobile app for moms on the go with geo location and rating services that identify clean, kid-friendly bathrooms.

I am still following all of them to see where they take their ideas from here. The energy and motivation surrounding the weekend is really astounding. These are the people that don’t just sit around wishing someone else would fix a problem, they are the “fixers”. This attitude is contagious too. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows! Developing a new product in 54 hours, start to finish, with a team of people you just met sounds crazy and it is, but it’s genius. If you can’t attend this weekend, be sure to follow @VoiceBunny, @StartupTampa, and #StartupTampa on Twitter for updates. Hope to see you there! The weekend is sold out but you can get tickets to the pitch event on Sunday night. The next Instagram could be born this weekend or something even better. Any advice for the teams this weekend?
