EuroSeattle Startup weekend

On January 23-25, 2015 SACC-Seattle will participate in Euro Seattle Startup Weekend. All Startup Weekends follow the same basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and embark in a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing and market validation. The weekend culminates with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback. You can check out the website for registration and to learn more. 
When: January 23-25 
Where: Amazon, 207 Boren Avenue N, Seattle
