Comment on 2 month hackathon on a remote tropical island

Comments

Besides being excessive, why?

Well, I decided to organise this because I have loads of experience in location independent living and communal living. I have experienced how great it is when you are in a place that makes you feel good, surrounded by people that are smart and motivating. In a luxurious villa on a tropical island, there is no distraction. By having a cook and housekeepers as well, you really don't have to worry about anything but getting shit done :)

Given your experience, what locations do you have in mind?

Looking at Phillipines for now, but any SEA country is in the running. Might end up in Bali or Thailand, who knows..

This all sounds amazing, but why only 12 people?

Because finding a bigger house is not easy :)

That's cool, I'll bring my own tent.

There was an article on HN not too long ago about the merits of having the startups office in Hawaii.

Something about the beaches... and team building. :)

Yup. If anyone is interested in hacking and joining a start up incubator on MAUI, please sign up here. Trying to nail down dates. More details soon. http://www.startupmaui.com
