Girls in Tech is pleased to announce that Startup Weekend NYC is back!
The weekend of June 11th (the end of Internet week, also known as next weekend), get together with local developers, marketers, designers, and aspiring entrepreneurs to pitch ideas, form teams and actually launch new business ventures over the weekend.
Sound intense? It is! By Sunday evening you’ll leave with a full stomach, have had little to no sleep, done a lot of great networking — and you’ll have seen the rise of a new startup or two.
This year:
- AOL Ventures has committed to funding the winning concept out of Startup Weekend!
- NoizIvy will hand out free hosting, consultations and a slew of other prizes.
- Hive at 55 will give away 3 months of free coworking space to one team and discounts to all other teams
- Speakers include:
- David Lifson of Postling.com (& Etsy & Amazon)
- Mark Lizoain of Urtak.com
- more TBA
What do Attendees get from a Startup Weekend?
We’re glad you asked:
Startup Weekend provides an unprecedented level of networking, team building, learning, and life changes for its attendees and their communities. Five or six meals – and drinks are provided. There’s a reason most attendees come back for every event; it’s just plain fun and provides amazing opportunities you can’t get anywhere else.
Sometimes a company emerges, sometimes one doesn’t, but every time people leave with more experience, insight, knowledge, friends and resources than they came with.
We hope to see you there – especially if you have a great idea for a startup.
