Wanted: Entrepreneurial Designers and Coders. Be part of Detroit's next cool startup
I just sent this blast:
Have you ever dreamed of being part of a cool, new high tech startup? Here’s your chance to be part of one.
Startup Weekend is returning to Detroit February 17th. It’s a 54-hour celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit. 100 makers, thinkers and doers walk into a building Friday night and 10 new web-based companies emerge on Sunday. From forming teams to brainstorming to business plans to designing mockups to coding prototypes to making the big pitch to venture capitalists, it all happens in one crazy weekend. It’s an amazing experience.
If you’re an artist, technologist, designer, geek, illustrator, coder or entrepreneur, you need to be part of Startup Weekend Detroit.
This year’s event will be even more special as it’s being held at the spectacular Madison Building (the home of Detroit Venture Parters). Networking, innovation, inspiration and education will surround you. It’s the perfect environment in which to test crazy ideas and take the first step towards launching a company that becomes the next big thing.
You can learn more and register at: http://detroit.startupweekend.org but don’t delay, this event sells out every year.
Come fan that entrepreneurial flame that burns bright inside you. Who knows – you might become Detroit’s next great sucess story.
Keep Creating -

Exactly what I have been looking for, thank you! I'm working at an incubator, the Venture Development Center (VDC) at UMass Boston, but don't have people on my 1-man team who know how to do technical or art. Startup Weekend could launch this company if some people will jump in. Huge thanks to the people who made this event happen.
If there is interest in more capital in Detroit area? There are many angels and VCs connected to the VDC and our EIR said he'd be happy to network on behalf of Michigan friends. They honestly are unaware of the great work happening in Michigan. Dan Allred of Silicon Valley Bank presented their strategy two weeks ago. Did not mention Detroit, so I asked and found SVB has no significant plan for Midwest. Suggested the Boston branch reach out to Detroit. A visit from some Detroiters to meet key equity sources in Boston seems in order.
David Parker - Love Detroit almost as much as Boston.
Go Patriots!
Charlie,
SO GREAT that you are helping spread the word about this! hiredMYway.com will be there to meet, greet and of course MINGLE!
Look forward to seeing you there; it's been too long!
