About
Startup Weekend is jazz for entrepreneurs. Each person improvises using their own instruments and style to create something entirely new and wonderful–all in one brief session. Launching a company from conception to launch creates a business and a space for connections between forward-thinking people in the context of working together. From April 3-5, Edge Office in Raleigh will host the Startup Weekend as entrepreneurs from across the Triangle, NC area gather in this experiment for community and profit.
If you or your company are interested in sponsoring Triangle Startup Weekend call: 919-816-2230 or email us at contact@trianglestartupweekend.com
