Boulder Startup Weekend April 7, 2010

A big thanks to Dave Mayer, Matt Bernier, and Grant Grigorian for helping bring you this event.

What's New with Startup Weekend?
Startup Weekend is now a non-profit based out of Seattle, but each event is still primarily organized and run by locals. This year, Startup Weekend will be in over 60 cities around the world, and we are excited to be back at the epicenter of it all. We will of course be seeing the creator, Andrew Hyde at the event.

There will be a cash prize of $1,000 at the end of the weekend to the top team made possible by Hosting.com, and Foraker

The event also has a theme: Triple Bottom Line. We feel that the theme emphasizing “People” and “Planet” in addition to “Profit” will encourage creative work in the areas beyond the usual scope of Startup Weekend, and will include initiatives driven by a not-for-profit motive (social entrepreneurship, sustainability, etc). The theme is a good fit in Boulder, a city famous for it’s progressive policies encouraging sustainable development and home to many green enterprises. And let’s not forget that our hosts this year, Leeds School of Business, always ranks high for integrating social and environmental stewardship into their curriculum.

Cost to participate is $55 and you must buy a ticket to officially become registered. Students can grab a ticket for $40. The cost includes food/drinks to be provided throughout the weekend.
Let us know if you have any ideas or questions. We'll see you there!
