Startup Weekend is coming back to New York! Create a startup in 54 hours!

A mindful entrepreneur is a happy entrepreneur!

Join us at the 2018 “Impactful Ventures” Startup Weekend to pitch your idea, meet a co-founder, learn new skills and ... create a company! Startup Weekend is a weekend-long event that gathers developers, designers, business developers and people from all backgrounds to meet and create their startup.

Why an “Impactful Ventures” Startup Weekend? As entrepreneurs, we have the ability to make the world better, to make people’s lives better, far beyond any bottom line. Our goal for this edition of Startup Weekend NYC is to break the mould of creating addictive or purely profit-driven businesses, and instead focus on using connectivity to improve individuals’ lives, communities and society as a whole, in a smart and sustainable way.

If you want to be part of the movement towards profitable, sustainable tech, which improves people's lives - we want to hear from you!
