Galway

Dear all -

I’m contacting you on behalf of the forthcoming Galway Startup Weekend
<http://bit.ly/galstartweekend>, of which I am co-organiser.

Startup Weekend is a non-profit, community-building event that brings
together entrepreneurs of different backgrounds, including software
developers, marketers, designers, and other enthusiasts. They gather to
to pitch ideas, form teams and start companies in just 54 hours. The
participants that attend have 60 seconds to make a pitch (optional), the
pitches are whittled down to the top ideas, and then teams form around
the ideas to come out with several developed companies or projects.
Finally, the weekend culminates with demonstrations in front of an
audience of judges and potential investors.

This is Galway’s first Startup Weekend, but the event occurs all over
the world throughout the year and they have been very successful. The
event will be held the weekend of Friday 14th November at the Cairnes
Building in NUI Galway, and you can find more info
at http://bit.ly/galstartweekend

I hope many of you will join us and create a startup… Also, student
tickets are half price.

I’d also greatly appreciate your help with spreading the word about the
Galway Startup Weekend through your network, in particular through your
connections. A simple tweet, LinkedIn share, blog post or e-mail from
you could go a really long way towards drumming up more anticipation and
participation. We are also on Facebook
<http://facebook.com/galstartweekend> and Twitter @galstartweekend

I look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,

John Breslin for the Galway Startup Weekend team
