Startup Weekend is a 54 hour startup event that provides the networking, resources, and incentives for individuals and teams to go from idea to launch. Startup Weekend’s motto: Build Community. Start Companies. No Talk. All Action. In conjunction with local facilitators around the world, Startup Weekend is run by a team out of Seattle, WA. Together, we are our own community of passionate entrepreneurs on a mission to help other entrepreneurs and facilitate innovation.

The event is open to anyone interested in the local entrepreneurial community, and it puts them in a setting where anything is possible. In the past 3 years, 1000+ ventures have started, 27,000+ entrepreneurs have been inspired. Teams have even started to generate revenue during the 54hr event, and others have even gone on to direct angel and VC investment. None of these stats take into account the amazing networking, ongoing professional relationships, and amazing experiences that happen at every event.

    I loved the last on.
    Hey do you want me to talk to people at FrontStream Payments? Maybe they can partner/critique or be involved somehow!

    Well, I’m a totally hip guy. :-) Yes I would love to have you. You were the sammich queen last year. We also have Tiffany Scroggs from the EDC as the official “logistics” person. Contact me regarding FrontStream.
