Weekend Hack-a-thons
You get to “practice” doing a startup with other people and see what it’s really like to work with them. It’s a target-rich environment, because most people who have a startup of their own don’t have time to do weekend hack-a-thons. You can answer many questions very quickly: How do people perform under pressure? What is their work ethic and commitment like? What is the quality of their work?
