Aug. 10-12 For people who have wondered about starting a business, this weekend will provide valuable information.
Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are founding startups and launching successful ventures in a lean, rapid and exciting way. It is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs with over 400 past events in 100 countries around the world in 2011. People around the globe come together for weekend long workshops to pitch ideas, form teams, and start companies.
All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it’s a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekend culminates with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.
Whether entrepreneurs found companies, find a cofounder, meet someone new, or learn a skill far outside their usual 9-to-5, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups.
