Do you have an idea for a new company or just something you think will make money or provide a service to the community, but don’t have all the knowledge (e.g. legal, financial, web or product development, marketing, etc.), resources or money to make it happen, Startup Weekend may be just what you need.
Startup Weekend is a national organization which sponsors startup weekends across the country. Startup Weekend has been featured on MSNBC and FOX News and numerous local radio, TV stations and newspapers across the country.
A “startup weekend” is an intense three days that brings people of diverse backgrounds together to execute startup ideas and build companies from scratch in 52 hours!
What kinds of participants are needed? People from every business discipline that would normally be involved in the startup of a company. Just to mention a few: lawyers, accountants, business development, marketing and advertising , product development, photographers, video and audio people, graphic designers, web, user experience and UI developers, … you name it we need you.
