Highlights of Startup Weekend Okanagan 2012

Not too long ago, the Kelowna Innovation Centre was buzzing with energy as more than 70 up-and-coming entrepreneurs put their heads together to create their own companies at the first ever Startup Weekend Okanagan.

54 hours later, the following winners emerged:

• First Place: SquadShout.com - a team organization and notification system powered by an automated phone call, text, or email.
• Second Place: Beauty Booker - a site designed to connect customers with unfilled, last-minute and discounted hair and beauty appointments
• Third Place: UChange - a smart, easy-to-use tool that uses a person's own compelling reasons to help them achieve their goals.

Wish you were in on the action? Fear not because today, Accelerate Okanagan has released a video highlighting the weekend that is guaranteed to wake your entrepreneurial spirit.
