Louisiana’s first Startup Weekend will be held April 8-10. Open to all, it will be held on LSU campus in Baton Rouge, in Pleasant Hall. Startup Weekend is a non-profit organization with a mission to build entrepreneurial and startup communities, and to help launch companies. They facilitate weekend-long events that attract developers, web and graphic designers, marketing and social media experts, business managers, and startup enthusiasts who pitch ideas Friday night, form teams, and develop those ideas into workable business models by Sunday night, when they present in front of a panel of entrepreneurs and investors. These events are run around the globe, organized by local community coordinators, and it’s exciting to see that Louisiana’s first Startup Weekend will be right here in Baton Rouge. It’s a fun, hands-on experience for those who wish to test the entrepreneurial waters, in a risk-free setting. Some teams continue on after the weekend to develop their concepts into viable businesses, others find the weekend to be a valuable learning experience. Whether the weekend inspires attendees to launch into the startup world or simply to approach their current job with a fresh perspective, it’s a chance to network with other talented people on an authentic level.
