I’ll keep this short since it’s no secret that I love Startup Weekend– if you’re interested in entrepreneurship and the tech scene at all, there’s no better way to get involved than jumping right in! Use code SWheartsPGH for 20% off.
The most recent Startup Weekend, hosted by Work Hard Pittsburgh, was a Civic-themed event held in September that focused on making impacts in our community.
We were due for a general-themed event open to all ideas, regardless of vertical or sector, so Startup Weekend Pittsburgh is coming this weekend!
For a quick recap, here’s what you can expect over the course of a Startup Weekend:
If you can’t make it for the whole weekend, we also have tickets for just the Friday and/or Sunday night pitches. It’s a perfect way to get a feel for what a Startup Weekend is like, without committing for the whole weekend.
Go here for more info and here for tickets. Don’t forget to use code SWheartsPGH for 20% off all tickets!
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.
Have you attended Startup Weekend before? Why would you recommend attending?
Tickets for Startup Weekend are $99 and can be purchased online here. If you are feeling a little sticker shock from the $99 price tag – you can enter to win a ticket to attend. C-leveled is one of the sponsors of Startup Weekend Pittsburgh and they are giving away two tickets to attend.
