Liverpool's first Saturday Startup club

saturday startupA unique initiative is being launched this weekend aimed at those working in the Liverpool Digital Community - the Saturday Startup Club

Each Saturday Startup Club runs to its own unique pattern, meeting at 9am for breakfast at a local eatery, then by 10 they move on to the workshop, in DoES Liverpool's co-working office, Hanover Street.  Where they start fresh throwing out potential problems to solve with products, or they might be visited by a startup, putting their current products on the table for a fresh look with the larger community.

Each Workshop Day at Saturday Startup Club is a unique and stand alone event – Don't worry if you've not been before, everything you need to know will be explained on the day and they love having new faces bringing fresh ideas and outlooks into the group.

The framework they are working to is something along the lines of:

9:00am : Meet for breakfast at Hanover Street Social

Then move on to DoES Liverpool where we have a meeting room booked with wifi, whiteboard, post-it notes and endless supplies of filter coffee and tea.

10:00am : 1 Minute Pitches – We do a round of pitches which get put up as a list on the board, then we vote using the "three dot method" to highlight the ideas with most interest.

10:30am : Quick brainstorming session to fill out a Business Model Canvas, 45 minutes each for the top 3 ideas based on votes.

12:45pm : Break For Lunch (Not Provided)

1:30pm : Pick which of the 3 canvassed ideas seems most viable and start working on the full canvas and explore the potential of the idea as a startup business in detail.

5:00pm : Wrap up, on to a local pub for further networking and discussion for those who want to.

As the event closes, it is up to everyone who attended to decide if they want to take the idea further outside of the workshop. No one is under any obligation to commit to further involvement and the person pitching the original idea maintains ownership. It could be useful though to state up front if you are just wanting input, or looking to form a more permanent team when pitching.
