Description: UMass Dartmouth has decided to bring Startup Weekend to campus! Startup Weekend is a non-profit, community-building event that brings together entrepreneurs of different backgrounds, including software developers, marketers, designers, and other enthusiasts. Startup Weekends are a weekend-long of hands-on experiences where entrepreneurs can find out if their startup ideas are viable. Students will gather to pitch ideas, form teams and start companies in just 54 hours! The participants that attend have 60 seconds to make a pitch (optional), the pitches are whittled down to the top ideas, and then form teams around the ideas to come out with several developed companies or projects. It takes a great amount people to build a startup company in just 54 hours! The weekend culminates with demonstrations in front of an audience of judges and potential investors.
Step outside of your comfort zone. With a whole weekend dedicated to letting your creative juices flow, Startup Weekends are perfect opportunities to work on a new platform, learn a new programming language, or just try something different. As a student it is important to build a network. This isn't just a happy-hour. Startup Weekend attracts your community's best makers and do-ers. By spending a weekend working to build scalable companies that solve real-world problems, you will build long-lasting relationships and possibly walk away with a job or even an investor.
