Whether you already have a business idea ready to go or just want to dip your toes in the entrepreneurial waters, Startup Weekend Gainesville, 10/12-10/14 is the perfect opportunity. Participants brainstorm ideas on Friday and form teams around the best ones, then it’s a 48-hour sprint to validate ideas, build a demo product, and craft a business plan.

The weekend culminates on Sunday evening when participants are put to the test before a panel of judges – all notable investors and entrepreneurs – who choose the weekend‘s winners. Top teams walk away with prizes such as free office space, mentorship & legal services to help keep the startup going.
