It is all in how each city sets things up. If the company that the Boulder community created (VoSnap) makes any money in the short term it will be put back into hard costs and infrastructure. Something to think about is 'what type of company are you creating?' If DCSW is a company looking for long term goals, don't expect a monthly check. If it is a short term small earnings company, planning for payouts might make the most sense. I am glad to see DC is rockin. I can't wait to come! I bought my plane ticket today! @Russell Heimlich- Great question. It is all in how each city sets things up.

Hopefully there'll be an FAQ covering that soon (there wasn't a one a few weeks ago, and I volunteered to help with it). I'm no expert yet on the full concept, but either way I'm sure the weekend will be quite the experience and a great chance to both learn some cool tech and meet some like-minded individuals.

But if 70 people are on the team, and a product gets launched and is making money, how do you pay people? I was just reading a bunch of stuff about Startup Weekend and it sounds like a lot of fun.
