Business is Booming at Startup Weekend Charleston

If you have just started a business or are seriously considering the possibility, you're in luck. Startup Weekend Charleston is heading your way September 12-14 at the Lowcountry Tech Academy centrally located in the heart of downtown Charleston, South Carolina Not familiar with the concept of a Startup Weekend? No problem! According to the official website, it's "a global network of passionate leaders and entrepreneurs on a mission to inspire, educate, and empower individuals, teams and communities." In other words, a dedicated time to launch startups, form new ideas and learn new information to help you in your business endeavors. Startup Weekend Charleston starts on Friday night with an open mic event where guests put their best ideas out there and encourage others to join their team. From there, Saturday and Sunday has teams developing product ideas, focusing on customer development and making a basic prototype to be discussed in an open environment. The event is made possible with grants from the Kauffman Foundation, an operation dedicated to the education and entrepreneurship of individuals across the country. Do you see the cute little bubbles in the beaker on the sticker? Those are thoughts and ideas brewing, just waiting to burst out into the open. What an accurate representation of the event itself! A black-and-white color scheme keeps the sticker simple, but really - who needs a lot of splash when there are better things to focus on?
