Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of entrepreneurs learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. There have been more than 1,800 past events in 120 countries around the world in 2014.
All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas and then it’s a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.
Put on by Startup Palm Beach, this event will be held July 18-20 at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Find full details and register here. A handful of 50 percent off discount tickets are available with the code “StartingGate.” Read more here.
