Startup Weekends are running around the US right now. Startup Weekend recruits a highly motivated group of developers, business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic artists and more to a 54 hour event that builds communities, companies and projects. It is an amazing opportunity to connect with other passionate and skilled individuals, and perhaps even find a co-founder or two to transform your idea into reality. Startup Weekend's primary mission is to be the most valuable and influential organization in startup communities around the world. Startup Weekend doesn't have to teach entrepreneurship in a boring classroom setting, we model it in a fun, interactive, and results driven way. As a result, it is one of the leading catalysts for startup creation, co-founder dating, and entrepreneurship education in startup ecosystems around the world.
