Have a great idea for a business and looking for help and inspiration? Check this out:

"Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event where developers, designers,
marketers, product managers, and startup enthusiasts come together to
share ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups".

What a great idea. Kudos to those bringing this to Charlottesville.

 

A good time was had by all! Some smiling faces from the Nest Realty Group, Charlottesville, Fall Party 11.5.10

Thanks to my fellow Nesters for putting this party together, and to all of our clients, friends and families who joined in the fun. A great evening of food, drink, conversation and laughter!
