Please email me to collect your tickets guys. (No further entries will be considered).

I’m a 25 year old Ruby developer, based in St Albans in Hertfordshire.
I’ve sat around working as a developer for other people for the last few years, but now is the time when I want to explore my entrepreneurial side.

I just got a few extra holiday days to take from my current job at JobsGoPublic.com,
and heading to Paris to see the LeMeur’s talking about love and the internet sounds like a great way to spend those few days.

Looking forward to it!

I am the founder of a bootstrapped start up as well, which launched in JULY in the gaming space, we are currently going through a process of change and planning our (ideally amazing ?) relaunch early next year .

With the current climate for raising money we have halved our burn rate to make the money last.. which unfortunately struck this event, and events like it off the table! I’ve always wanted to head to Le Web to get a chance learn from the greatest minds in the game, but also to connect with potential business partners which might help our relaunch next year.

I’m flying the UK flag as high as can be and will seek out the first round of PINTS in paris, just moved to London since this is where its at and it would be a dream to head to this. (If it helps I can speak a liiitlle francais to!)

Cheers Sam!

For the record, I would like to add that I am also: VERY VERY POOR! and I’ve lived in London, Coventry and Hull(..bet noone else has been there) so I too, have the UK well covered. Have also been to various points of interest in the UK…willing to provide a list.

As to LeWeb – I’d already given up after seeing the horrific ticket price. When you’re bootstrapping from nothing as I am — especially in the current climate — it’s a luxury out of many startups’ reach.

Maybe others, like me, didn’t even bother entering the startup competition since winners still have to pay a fairly steep price to go. I’ve a great admiration for Loic and his team and know *why* the prices are high, but that doesn’t make my budget any larger.

I’d love to actually attend rather than sitting at home reading commentary online, and although I can’t tick the Irish box, I’m a half-Welsh Englishwoman living in Scotland so I think I have the UK fairly well covered. After all, following blog posts and tweets doesn’t even come close to the experience of being there; the networking opportunities, the inspiration and feeling like part of a huge community — something that can be really lacking when you’re starting out by yourself. Plus, there’s the parties…

I’d just create my company, I’m a UI designer and ergonomist.
The ticket price is too expensive for me. It’s not reasonable due to the begining of my business.

I’m working, in freelance, on Producteev.com which has been selected for startups contest ! It would be a great moment if I’ll be there during the result of the contest !

I know I’m french but I’m very motivated

Thx a bunch

So,
I really want to go to LeWeb8 but the ticket is too expensive for

No Location startups in the list at all so I think Locle should get a ticket to fly the flag for the UK and Ireland-based LBS startups.

Also, Paris in winter-time is lovely, I hear.

Anyways heres my pitch:

Feisty female Web 2.0 startup founder with more sense than money and less time to launch date than I did yesterday requires 1 free ticket to Le Web 2.0. Willing to wear signage saying Im from UK (..to keep the numbers up) but more importantly will give me opportunity to leave flat for first time in three months.
