Startup Weekend 31 January 2014 – 2 February, Talent Garden (Milan)

 

Another non-stop Startup Weekend (Website) is going to take place in a couple of weeks (from Jan 31 through Feb 2) in Milan.

Are you resting enough to arrive well prepared? Are you ready to sleep only a few hrs per night (if you are able to sleep), drink liters of coffee and play for all?

Jokes aside, the 54-hrs famous event supported by Kauffman Foundation, organized and hosted by our friends of Talent Garden with the help of Frontiers Conferences and Startupbusiness, is a great opportunity for you to present your idea, build your team, work intensively on a project and get to know a lot of new people (with the most diverse backgrounds), who have the same goals and aspirations you have. Exciting, isn’t it?

What you can get from these 2 days and half is not just that. You will be coached, evaluated, and you will have eventually the possibility to be awarded with a free seat @Mind the Bridge Startup School in San Francisco!
