STARTUP WEEKEND EVANSVILLE v3.0

By attending Startup Weekend Evansville 3.0, you will expand your entrepreneurial mindset.
The environment during a Startup Weekend is one of openness, collaboration, and education. It embodies the paradigm shift taking place in our education system today by emphasizing the power of collaborative, hands-on learning utilizing real problems and scenarios. All ideas are welcome and decisions are made democratically. No idea is considered unworthy and any team with passion and vision is encouraged to continue working after the weekend, regardless of judges’ feedback.

You will be immersed in autonomy – independent action by yourself or team aimed at bringing forth a business concept or vision and carrying it through to completion. Can you ‘pan out’ to see a compelling big vision for your business idea, then ‘zoom in’ and focus on near-term startup goals? Successful entrepreneurs can facilely move back and forth between these two views. They’re able to articulate the big picture, while simultaneously managing and executing to the ‘zoom-in’ picture.

Whether you’re a born extrovert or introvert, you’ll find yourself always selling. You’ll be selling your vision to prospective partners and funding sources. You’ll be selling prospective recruits on why they should join this startup they’ve never heard of.

Startup Weekend helps harness the raw power of creativity and human potential by empowering individuals and teams to build and validate the solutions to the opportunities and problems they see and feel every day. Through Startup Weekend people are able to pursue their passions and find the people they need to transform their vision into reality, while providing opportunities to learn how to succeed not only on a local level, but with the ability and potential to become a high-growth venture.

You will engage with creative, like-minded individuals by immersing in organic team development; you will capture the advantages of diversity. Idea variability depends on individuals whose views don’t cluster around the mean. Play your part of enabling a large community of passion. Passion is a multiplier of human effort, but it can’t be manufactured. It’s present only when people get the chance to work on what they truly care about.

Whether you found a company, find a cofounder, meet someone new, or learn new skills far outside your comfort zone of thought and action, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups. If you want to put yourself in the “shoes of change thinking”, register now for the most unique 54-hours of your life!
