I was referencing the OP's comment noting the few Startup Weekend projects that have been successful. Which projects are among these few?

In general, though, I would go with a lower bar than fallentimes's suggestion. How about any company that is now incorporated and could be seen on a path to being something that someone would want to acquire, i.e. has any of these properties: is actively hiring, has raised money, is generating profits, and/or has a significant (>20K?) and growing user base?



I can only speak for those I know.

Both Skribit and Twitpay are incorporated.

Skribit will hire its first full time person in January upon closing a small round. The company has significant user traction: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/skribit.com/?metric=uv
