Leap into Startup Weekend is the ticket sale launch party for those interested in attending the next Startup Weekend Hamilton event!!
Startup Weekend Hamilton is a new event where startups happen in a single weekend. Ideas for startups are pitched on Friday night, teams form to work on the business model and build prototypes, and by Sunday night the teams are presenting their new startup in front of a panel of expert judges to select a winner.
If you’re not sure how it all works that weekend you’re not alone, organizers and veterans of last October’s Startup Weekend event will be at Leap into Startup Weekend to explain what it’s all about, how it works and what it’s like to be a part of one.
Leap into Startup Weekend will kick off with a keynote by Yuriy Blokhin of Kik Messenger, followed by networking with snacks and coffees, and some special discount priced Startup Weekend tickets! For those who stick around long enough there will be a DJ and some dancing at The Baltimore House later that night!
Startup Weekend Hamilton itself will be happening Friday April 27th to Sunday April 29th at Mohawk College. Check out the website, or follow on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn.
