What does it take to be an entrepreneur?
Startup Weekend Cork April 5th 2013 takes place in UCC Western Gateway Building Cork. Startup Weekend is a global network of passionate leaders and entrepreneurs on a mission to inspire, educate, and empower individuals, teams and communities. Getting an idea off the ground and running as a successful business is a daunting task, and even generating interest in your idea can be difficult if you don’t have an audience. Start up weekend is just where budding entrepreneurs can profile their ideas, and turn them into reality.
The Startup Weekend is a global movement with events happening all over the world. The weekend follows a set model where ideas are pitched, and the entrepreneurs get feedback from their peers. Teams form around the most popular ideas as divided by voting, and the the ideas are developed into business models. The ideas are then presented to entrepreneurial business leaders where they are then given further feedback.
I will be attending this event to see the flurry of activity that will be happening in the UCC Ignite campus over the 54 hours. We are looking forward to seeing the high pressure of business planning in such a short space of time. 54 hours will run out very quickly for the attendees.
