Starting Friday afternoon, May 05 participants will have a little over two days to form teams, develop brand new startup ideas, work with mentors and subject matter experts, craft a pitch, and then present to a group of judges Sunday afternoon, May 07.
And to keep things from being too laborious, we’ll occasionally break for some specially organized dining, art, music, and nature-based experiences celebrating the best Northern Michigan is known for.
This event is part of Northern Michigan Startup Week!
Are you an entrepreneur, changemaker, dreamer, doer, problems solve… you get the idea, then Techstars Startup Weekend Northern Michigan is for you! We welcome seasoned professionals, students, enthusiasts, and well, pretty much everyone.
This year’s Techstars Startup Weekend Northern Michigan is being hosted by the community coworking space Commonplace in the brand new Comongrounds cooperative building. Participants are encouraged to stay at the Bayshore Resort, on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay, where we’ve reserved a block of rooms.
This event is a great opportunity to stretch your creative and entrepreneurial muscles with like-minded peers. Plus you can get great real-world startup practice without the real-world stakes. (And common, let’s be honest, even serial-entrepreneurs can use practice to stay sharp.) And again, who doesn’t want to come experience the majesty of Northern Michigan!
While registration for the event isn’t technically open yet, please fill this very short form to make sure we’re able to keep you in the loop!
