Whether you’re an entrepreneur with an idea, curious about startups, or think your skills could help a local, small business, Â Statrup Weekend provides a platform for all to get involved in the entrepreneurial community. Attendees can pitch, and potentially turn their idea into an actual business all in one weekend.
Any entrepreneur  is welcome to pitch their idea for any type of business, with teams forming around top plans that are selected by popular vote. Team leaders put out “calls for help” to build relationships with other attendees who have the right skills to help build their business. An intense two days later, teams will present their ideas to be judged by a panel of local leaders in the entrepreneurial community.
Throughout the weekend, entrepreneurs can seek counsel from seasoned coaches from the business community.
