Heya! I’m Armin, part of the team behind the 24 Hour Startup Challenge! Over this weekend, there are over 300 founders building products live on Twitch in 24 hours. As I post this, there are almost 90 people live streaming their work from all over the world! You can watch them on 24hrstartup.com. The idea behind this live-streamed hackathon event comes from Pat Walls. He challenged himself to do a 24-hour startup twi…

Cool. However, stop calling it startups. They're launching apps/products, not startups.

Strong agree. It’s hard to understand how you would build a sustainable business around any of the products listed in this thread.

To get even more pedantic, they are building apps, not launching them.

Not that I want to dismiss the efforts - a group of people all challenging themselves to build out a side project in 24 hours is commendable. But building an idea into an MVP on a Saturday is not the same thing as launching a company.

Give them a month, then maybe you could call it a 'start-up' or something substantial. It would also help build some level of anticipation.

What is a startup anyway? The term is stupid and overused imo.

A lot of people on HN would probably go with the Paul Graham definition: "A startup is a company designed to grow fast"

Sure, in a month, if they are an actual startup I'll call them a startup.
