#2I did the first StartupWorkaway in Costa Rica. The other 15 founders were awesome (handpicked from 200ish applicants if memory serves). The venue was epic (12,000 square foot villa with 2 pools on a cliff). And it was cheaper than any vacation that I've ever taken (the economies of scale when 15 founders rent a big villa and a chef are pretty amazing). In fact, it was probably cheaper than staying home.
I'd recommend the experience without reservation.

#3I think I saw that two of the spots for this workaway are being given away as a prize for the AngelHack competition(?) I'd go just to be able to spend time working with that kind of talent.

Not saying this isn't interesting or appealing to the HN crowd, but disclosing that you are probably affiliated with this organization.

One of your pages is broken on your site, this is you I'm guessing from the npt: http://startupworkaway.com/nick-tommarello but it's returning a 404.
What noobface is saying is that you don't participate in HN apart from to promote this, but that's not a big deal.
Seems like a cool idea. Did any companies emerge from the last one?

#8So what did come out of original StartupWorkaway?
Anything other than beach lounging with 20 geeks?

If you try again, it should work. I had to tweak Apache config files to keep the site up.
I don't post much content, but I read HN like 50 times a day, and upvote a lot. :) I post this because I feel it's the coolest thing I do that relevant to the HN crowd.
About half of the crowd there had existing companies, and the other half hacking on stuff. Apps were finished, but no new companies were formed.

#10Why is it only 10 days? Is it to fit with most people's 2 week vacation slots? I would think a month would be more productive, or even better a 3 month y-combinator style intense MVP rush.
Also isn't the internet on Ko Samui kind of shitty? Wouldn't a mainland location by a nice beach be better internet wise?
