Ann Arbor Startup Weekend

http://annarbor.startupweekend.com/

We're putting our heads and our ideas and our skills together to launch startup companies in one marathon weekend. Startup Weekend has been bringing these exciting, community-building weekends to cities all across the country.

More than 100 people from all kinds of industries and skillsets will launch 10-12 companies. Friday night we'll vote on ideas and choose the top dozen or so. After that, you'll be able to choose which idea/team you want to work on and spend the rest of the weekend putting everything together for a launch. When all is said and done, you'll be a co-founder of an honest-to-goodness startup.

We need all kinds of participants! We need idea people, marketing people, design people, technical people, business people, etc.; everyone can put their skills to work in creating these new companies. And this is a perfect time to try out something new - if you're a techie who'd like to try graphic design or an accountant who'd like to try a little marketing, this is an excellent opportunity to expand your horizons.

Through the enormously generous support of McKinley, Inc., we'll be holding the event in office space at Liberty Square, next to the McKinley Towne Centre. There's plenty of room for us to spread out, good access to public transportation, as well as easy parking.
