Time for 24 Hour Business Camp

24hbc participators

Between October 28 and 30, approximately 115 entrepreneurs and seven sponsors gather at Yasuragi Hasseludden to participate in 24 Hour Business Camp (24hbc). 

24hbc was first organized in February by internet entrepreneur Ted Valentin to inspire other people to build their own startup. This time, the event is co-organized by the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship (SSES) and Ted. The event is open to anyone with a great idea, but is mainly targeted towards the developers' community and student entrepreneurs.

This time around 24hbc has a theme: API:s. Several Bonnier companies have opened up their API/RSS feed, specifically for the event: Newsmill, Workey, Expressen, Boktipset.se och DI.se.

Bonnier R&D's Björn Jeffery and Paulina Modlitba Söderlund will participate, together with Fredrik Davidsson from Teknograd, and are planning to build a web application based on Newsmill's API.

In addition, Bonnier R&D has announced a grand prize consisting of 250,000 SEK in media space. The winner will be declared at the 24hbc after party on Saturday October 31. The party is hosted by Bonnier R&D and takes place at Allmänna Galleriet in Stockholm. A complete list of criteria for winning the prize will be published in this blog tomorrow, Thursday.

Hope to see you there!
