Is Startup Weekend Right For You?

If you’re interested in turning your great idea into a business in 54-hours or less, Startup Weekend is for you.

Startup Weekend provides networking, resources and incentives for individuals and teams to go from idea to launch. They connect you with local developers, innovators and entrepreneurs to build community and start real companies.

People pitch ideas and form teams on Friday night and then try to build prototypes/demos and organize basic business planning in one weekend, culminating in a judging on Sunday night. Winning teams receive prizes including cash, in kind services and mentoring.

you’re trying to find a business partner or group of people to help get your idea off the ground, Startup Weekend is for you.

The first step in finding a great business partner or team at an event is having the room filled with the right types of people. Fortunately, anyone who signs up for an event built around trying to start a company in 54 hours is clearly a bit of an “entreprenerd”. Anyone who isn’t serious about startups will quickly stand out like a Beauty Queen at a Star Wars convention.

If you’re looking to get involved with the ideas that will shape your future as well as everyone elses, Startup Weekend is for you.

Let your great ideas improve the technology of tomorrow. Your team could found the next Twitter, Digg, or bit.ly. Or maybe your team will come up with how to process salt water into drinking water. Or how to lower the toxic emissions on cars. The possibilities are endless.
