Startup Weekend NYC
Startup Weekend is a 54 hour startup event that provides the networking, resources, and incentives for individuals and teams to go from idea to launch. Get connected with local developers, innovators and entrepreneurs. Build Community. Start Companies. No Talk. All Action.
The event targets entrepreneurs in the local community and puts them in a setting where anything is possible. In the past 2 years, 250+ startups have started, 9,000+ entrepreneurs have been inspired, some teams have even started to generate revenue during the 54hr event! Others have even gone on to direct angel and VC investment. None of these stats take into account the amazing networking, ongoing professional relationships, and amazing experience that happens at every event. We are a non-profit organization and do not take an equity interest in the startups.
At our last event at Microsofts headquarters in Redmond, WA we changed the way that Bing searches. The team responsible received $10,000 in direct investment on Sunday evening and had live code running on Saturday.
