About Startup Weekend
Startup Weekend is designed to provide superior experiential education for technical and
non-technical entrepreneurs. Beginning with pitches and continuing through brainstorming, business plan development, and basic prototype creation, Startup Weekends culminate in demos and presentations. Participants create working startups during the event and are able to collaborate with likeminded individuals outside of their daily networks. Teams hear talks by industry leaders and receive valuable feedback from local entrepreneurs. The weekend is focuses on action, innovation, and education. Whether you are looking for feedback on a idea, a co-founder, specific skill sets, or a team to help you execute, Startup Weekends are the perfect environment in which to test your idea and take the first steps towards launching your own startup.
