ABOUT THE EVENT

"Curious about entrepreneurship and startup life?

Learn what it takes to get an idea off the ground from supportive entrepreneurs in a fun, off-kilter race against the clock, but in three hours instead of three days!

This year, Startup Weekend Madison is partnering with Madison Women in Tech, and focusing on women and nonbinary folks in the Madison community interested in learning more about entrepreneurship, business and startups.

Using provided craft supplies and oddball items, attendees will work in teams to invent a product or service, and learn basic business principles in the process. Attendees with children are encouraged to bring them along!"
