Startup Weekend Hamilton is coming up!

 
Written by Alex Pineda

For those considering attending this years Startup Weekend, it’s difficult if not impossible to know what to expect. Even the name Startup Weekend is surprisingly opaque. I think first and foremost you should understand, what is a Startup? After that, you can start to digest just why this event is so unique and wonderful for all those who attend. It’s hard to succinctly name or describe it but here I try to offer just a little insight. I would say, quite generally, that Startup Weekend is where you go to make the intangible tangible.

Everyone has a different reason for going to Startup Weekend. I think you should go for any of the following reasons:

A) Networking. Meet new people, and learn what they do, and get inspired. We don’t bite.
B) Skill Development. Focus on your key talent and help a team with your skill set. Feel good about your contribution. It can be anything from social media, copywriting, design, negotiation, you name it.
C) Self Discovery. Focus on something you normally would never do, be it coding, marketing, face-to-face customer discovery etc.
D) Product Development/Enhancement. Focus on your existing product idea and have others help you build it and possibly improve on it. You’ll be surprised what others can throw in into the mix if you let them.
