Images from shotgun & proto.in

Well for those who dont follow me on twitter (www.twitter.com/gsunil), I along with a couple of friends from work took part in a competition called shotgun startups. The challenge was to come up with a winning idea and build a working prototype all under 48 hours. We came 2nd and I really do think the team that came 1st deserved it. Here are the pics and links from both shotgun startup and the talks at proto.in.

Just a few points I wanted to mention rather than write a big post
1. Great experience participating, even greater experience winning, but I do believe everyone deserved to win for their work. Marketing/Presentation is where we won I guess.
2. Organization could have been quite a lot better for the shotgun item.
3. Met amazing pple and worth all the effort.


Working our asses off, I'm not kidding, our asses were all tired n asleep quite soon.



The bean bags that could have saved our asses.
