Startup Weekend Fairfield
Do you
have a product or service that could be the next big thing, or the
business or technical skills to bring these game changers to the world?
On Friday, June 14, at the Dolan School of Business at Fairfield
University, you'll have the opportunity to join a team to launch a new
venture.
Everyone attending is welcome to pitch a new service or product
(consumer product, medical device, software, web or mobile app,
alternative energy, financial service, etc.).
Participants
will form into teams around the top ideas (as determined by popular
vote). Then it’s a frenzy of business modeling, designing and
prototyping; with the support of business, design, production,
marketing, IT, and legal coaches. The weekend culminates with demos and
pitches to investors, as teams vie for $20,000 in legal services, office
space and other resources to launch their ventures. For the best weekend of your life, register now at swfairfield.eventbrite.com
