Been thinking of starting a company? Maybe started one recently? Or just have entrepreneurial tendencies in your blood? Check out Start. Friends and colleagues, Jeffrey Veen and Bryan Mason, are hosting a one-day conference in San Francisco on August 7 'for smart, talented Web people to take hold of their ideas, follow their dreams, and start their own companies.'

The lineup of speakers alone piqued my interest: Evan Williams (Blogger, Twitter), Matt Mullenweg (WordPress), Merlin Mann (43Folders), Mena Trott (Six Apart), Om Malik (Giga Om), Julie Davidson & Narendra Rocherolle (30boxes, Webshots) and more. At only $200, registration for this event is a steal. And yes, I've heard the jokes already: Jeff and Bryan have the Start Conference, when will I hold a Stop Conference?...
