Startup Weekends are 54-hour events where developers, designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come together to share ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups!
Startup Weekends are weekend-long, hands-on experiences where entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if startup ideas are viable. On average, half of Startup Weekend’s attendees have technical backgrounds, the other half have business backgrounds.
Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees are encouraged to bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Over Saturday and Sunday teams design and develop business plans while constantly streamlining their startup vision. On Sunday evening teams demo their prototypes, listen to judges’ feedback and in some cities, win prizes.
Startup Weekends are specifically designed for entrepreneurs interested in receiving feedback on an idea, looking for a co-founder, or who want to learn a new skill. We also welcome anyone looking to test the entrepreneurial waters. Startup Weekends are risk-free environments where everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves and dive into the exhilarating world of startups.

It’s been a continually growing process and we couldn’t be more excited with where things have come so far. February was amazing for the Orlando Tech Meetup.

We’re keeping our finger’s crossed to be able to use it again! A massive thanks to everyone who came out and made it so much fun, and an extremely large Thank You to the companies who demo’d – Tawlk, CodeSchool and Innovative Data Solutions.

Code School is all about learning by doing. Our educational courses combine video, coding in the browser, and gamification principles to make learning more fun and therefore more effective. A typical course contains 5 levels, each with a 10-15 minute video, followed by series of code challenges a student must solve to make it to the next level. Once finished each course provides rewards for completion.
A public-facing, real time search and analysis platform for the socialweb. We aim to empower the masses with tools to better digest and understand the wide range of data constantly flowing through social media networks. With our initial beta release, you can search a keyword and getback a stream of all the latest being posted about it, with stats to help understand it’s overall sentiment, popularity, and amplification.
