Startup Weekend is next week (Jan 18th)

[Aaron Schaap]

Hey everyone,

Startup Weekend (http://grandrapids.startupweekend.org/) is happening again on Jan 18, 19 and 20 to The Factory and it's going to be another awesome year. We hope you're able to make it.

What is Startup Weekend?

==================================

Startup Weekend follows basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it's a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders and investors with another opportunity for critical feedback.
