Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Business & Industry
Mission: To provide experiential education for entrepreneurs. We host single weekend and multiple day (over several weeks) experiential educational events around the world that support entrepreneurs, building of communities, and potential creation of new businesses.
Programs: Events - our initial program (startup weekend) is a 54-hour, weekend-long event of hands on training on what it actually takes to launch a business. We connect real people with real problems, and help them learn how to build viable solutions. It is often described as a real world mba in a weekend. During 2014, startup weekend held approximately 1,265 events around the world. We also launched next, a 4-5 day educational training, held over multiple weeks, which goes into greater hands on detail of different areas of launching and running a business. Leadership training - we train and educate people who are passionate about doing good things for their community, and are helping to support their startup ecosystem, who want to learn how to be the best leaders possible. This serves as quality control for all of our activities as well as building a powerful network of influential, grassroots leaders around the world.
