About Startup Weekend NL
Startup
Weekends are 54-hour events designed to provide superior experiential
education for technical and non-technical entrepreneurs. Beginning with
Friday night pitches and continuing through brainstorming, business
plan development, and basic prototype creation, Startup Weekends
culminate in Sunday night demos and presentations. Participants create
working startups during the event and are able to collaborate with
like-minded individuals outside of their daily networks. All teams hear
talks by industry leaders and receive valuable feedback from local
entrepreneurials. The weekend is centered around action, innovation, and
education. Whether you are looking for feedback on a idea, a
co-founder, specific skill sets, or a team to help you execute, Startup
Weekends are the perfect environment in which to test your idea and take
the first steps towards launching your own startup. Learn more!Terms of Participation Agreement: It is our job to provide you with an incredible networking and learning opportunity.
