The next Startup Weekend Pittsburgh, aka Startup Weekend Pittsburgh 6, starts this Friday, November 21, 2014. Startup Weekend is a weekend long event where folks will come together to build a business in 2 days and it isn’t just for entrepreneurs.
This is one of my MOST favorite events in Pittsburgh. I have attended twice and it has been an incredible way to work on some business ideas and make new friends. Startup Weekend Pittsburgh isn’t just for entrepreneurs. Here are some other reasons to sign up to spend this weekend at Startup Weekend.
