A unique three-day experience, Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event where developers, designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come together to share ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups!
Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, individuals and groups are encouraged to bring their best ideas and persuade others to join their team. Over the weekend, teams will design, develop, research and create business plans for their ideas. On Sunday evening, teams demo their prototypes to gain valuable feedback from a panel of experts, as well as the opportunity to win prizes.
Startup Weekend Fresno will be held Friday Sept. 5 – 7, 2014 in the University Business Center on the Fresno State campus. The event is open to the public. Student Tickets are $30. Tickets for Non-students are regularly $80, but if you get them before Aug. 29 they will be a special “early bird” price of just $65. All meals over the course of the weekend are included in ticket prices.
