Coders! Artists! Business People!
March 2-4 is the Tech Valley Startup
Weekend in Troy!
http://techvalley.startupweekend.org/
Startup Weekends are 54-hour events where developers, designers,
marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come together to
share ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups!
Startup Weekends are weekend-long, hands-on experiences where
entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if startup ideas
are viable. On average, half of Startup Weekend’s attendees have
technical backgrounds, the other half have business backgrounds.
Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees are encouraged to
bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Over
Saturday and Sunday teams design and develop business plans while
constantly streamlining their startup vision. On Sunday evening
teams demo their prototypes, listen to
judges’ feedback and in some cities, win prizes.
Startup Weekends are specifically designed for entrepreneurs interested
in receiving feedback on an idea, looking for a co-founder, or who want
to learn a new skill. We also welcome anyone looking to test the
entrepreneurial waters. Startup Weekends are risk-free environments
where everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves and dive into the
exhilarating world of startups.
