Halfbaked Challenge – Code Blacks vs Silicon Welly All-Stars
I’m part of the Silicon All-Stars team in the webstock halfbaked challenge
Its seems like a bit of a no contest… a bunch of industry professionals (Code Blacks) vs a group of battle hardened entrepreneurs (Silicon Welly All-Stars). The excuses are already starting to flow..
The CodeBlacks have been hit with injuries and players signing to overseas leagues for exorbitant sums. In fact the team is down to only three original CodeBlacks…
OK, full credit to the code blacks, they did build a website in 24 hours, but you’re talking to seasoned entrepreneurs and our businesses crank out new products, websites and business ideas every other week!.
The Silicon Welly All-Stars have strong history, we’ve raised more money, won more awards, launched more products, released more code, marketed more ideas, hired more people!
And we have our secret weapon team captain Tim Norton – the fast mouth in the south. 5 minutes to pitch a new business, he’s already demo’d PlanHQ to world in 6 minutes.

we’ve raised more money (hey! poor people are happier), won more awards (so you paid the entry fee), launched more products (more = clutter), released more code (you should be aiming for less code), marketed more ideas (“marketed” being the keyword here?), hired more people! (you forgot to mention they are often headhunted from somewhere else).
