Startup Weekend Coming in April
13 Apr 2017
Entrepreneurs are welcome to attend Startup Weekend April 7-9 at University Research Park, organizers announced recently.
Similar to past years, the three-day event will give entrepreneurs the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures, as well as the chance to network with other like-minded individuals.
Participants will hear from industry leaders such as Rachel Robinson and Emily Purdom of DotCom Therapy and Emmanuel Buah of Airfordable.
The pitch demos that conclude the weekend will be judged by Karen Hitchcock of HealthFinch and Molly Lahr of American Family Ventures.
