Did the application process exclude non-technical people? It was just a big text field saying "RESUME GOES HERE."

I think they would have wanted solid sales/marketing/design people to apply too.



Well the language is explicitly programmer related, e.g. "If you're like a lot of programmers you may have considered one day joining a startup" and "the event is free, but since more programmers may want to attend than we have room for..."

The event had a clear focus on being for programmers, which is fine by me. I'm just saying another event, geared towards non-programmers, with a different focus, might be useful.


I'm a designer, and I applied. I also got rejected. :P


I'm a designer and I applied and got accepted. Now n=2.


Are you any good? :P

Flesh out your profile here and maybe good things will happen. (Note: the "email" field isn't public.)
