As if one startup event isn’t enough, London is playing host to another startup launch event – Startup Weekend London from 4th-6th June:
Startup Weekend recruits a highly motivated group of developers, business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic artists and more to a 54 hour event that builds communities, companies and projects.
Founded in 2007 by Andrew Hyde, the weekend is a concept of a conference focusing on learning by creating. It is known for its quick decisions, ‘out of the box’ thinking (oh no, the buzzwords are attacking!), unique facilitation technique and letting the founders show what they can do. The program has already met with success in Boulder, Toronto, New York, Hamburg, Houston, West Lafayette, Boston, DC and more.
The format is (roughly) pitching ideas on friday night, then frantic building on saturday and sunday morning, followed by pitching the final ideas on sunday night. If that sounds good, then get your tickets quick because they are selling out fast!
