I met several mentors who have already traveled the startup path, and they guided us, and gave us their precious advice. These mentors are people who live, breathe and have experienced what you intend to do for next few years.
Their 5 minutes with you is more worth than hours with your bar buddy or highschool friend as far as startup advice/direction is concerned.
I partnered with a guy in that startup weekend who had this "idea" in his mind since few years. That guy has thought about this idea from every possible direction for months/years. But it was still childish. No where close to what VCs would love to see them pitched. No where close to what enterprise decision makers will buy. No where close to getting the user base for his B2B model.
Then the meeting with Mentors happened. Idea went from primitive to slightly more focused. Another mentor shaped the idea from selling and making money perspective. Third mentor helped prepare the pitch and perspective on what VCs/Judges would question and how to address them.
The idea went from unpolished to very fine sellable/workable idea which would make money in enterprise space if executed successfully. All that with just 15 minutes of time with each mentor.
Its important to hang out with people who are way smarter than you and in the same space where you want to excel and these events provide you with that opportunity.
As always overdoing anything is not fruitful.
