Digital Barn Raising Meetup

The first Friday of every month, we hold a Digital Barn Raising to help real projects with real potential get off the ground.

If you are a hacker, designer, marketer, thinker, doer, funder or anything else, come and join the community.

How it works:
Once a month we send out an email for projects.
In order to submit your project for a barn raising you must have either:
-- taken part (constructively) in a previous barn raising
-- sponsor beer, pizza and general goodness for that barn raising
The first Friday night of the month we get together, finalize the projects, break out into teams, whiteboard and set roles and expectations for the weekend.
Saturday and Sunday we raise our barns.
Sunday night, we launch.

If you get funded or turn something into a business based on a barn raising
Each barn raising community asks for 2% of your company in return for helping get you off the ground.
1% goes into a community pool - which you are a part of - so if one company succeeds, everyone benefits. Think of this as a thank you to everyone, and a small safety net for you.
1% goes to Digital Barn Raising and service providers to help cover costs (like promotion, legal fees and advice, space, mentors, etc.) and to grow things out.
We also hope that everyone who has benefited from a barn raising keeps coming back, and maybe brings their team with them.

We hope you join us to hack, to learn and to see some great projects get off the ground.
