Event Details
WHY YOU SHOULD COME ALONG:
Startup Weekend is the place to come for anyone with a new idea that they want to see brought to life. Over the weekend teams work together to take the ideas and create real new ventures. Anyone with an idea or interest in being an entrepreneur is welcome. People with a background in developing for web or mobile, design skills, marketing experience or entrepreneurial talents are welcome. It’s hoped the event will attract about 100 people from London and surrounding cities.
The weekend is open to anyone interested in the local entrepreneurial community, and it puts them in a setting where anything is possible. Teams have even started to generate revenue during the 54hr event, and others have gone on to direct angel and VC investment. None of this takes into account the amazing networking, ongoing professional relationships, and amazing experience that happen at every event. In 2010, more Startup Weekend events are being planned for the UK.
WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF THE WEEKEND:
Startup Weekend is a great experience for everyone that comes along ... the best thing about the weekend is what you take away from it - this includes practical stuff like building your network or learning more about setting up a business.
You choose to work
as a team and at the end on the Sunday
night, teams present their business model, working prototype or maybe
its a
video - each team has a chance to win one of the main prizes. So when
you buy a ticket you'll be asked about your background or skills.
We'll have a few
guest speakers as well ... very experienced people working in startups,
working in large businesses or working on marketing insights and as well
we'll have our experienced mentors and entrepreneurs to make sure
you're getting the best out of the weekend.
Everyone walks away from the weekend having learnt alot and probably looking forward to a long sleep-in.
AND AFTER THE WEEKEND:
We want to setup monthly drop-in sessions so that all these brilliant ideas have a great chance of success
