Building a vibrant, interconnected European startup community Empowering, connecting and amplifying the efforts of grassroots community leaders

April, 2014

Page 2: Europas   up europe presentation

A non-profit dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship, grassroots leadership, and strong communities. We are on a mission to make the world a more innovative and prosperous place, one community at a time. We believe that entrepreneurs are critical to driving a strong global economy and a better world. We do our part by supporting the grassroots leaders who are at the core of every strong entrepreneurial community.

An Entrepreneurial World

Page 3: Europas   up europe presentation

The Greatest Force Advancing Human Welfare. We believe that entrepreneurs are the leading drivers of prosperity, jobs, and innovation. Without entrepreneurship, we would cease to move forward within our local economies and in our world. With this belief at the core of our organization, we strive to support entrepreneurs and the communities that allow them to thrive in any way we can.

Our journey began in 2007 when Andrew Hyde developed the concept of Startup Weekend in Boulder, Colorado. In 2009, Marc Nager, Clint Nelson, and Franck Nouyrigat acquired the brand and decided to operate as a non-profit with the goal of exposing more people to the transformative power of entrepreneurship. Since then, we've become a global presence in over 500 cities and we've catalyzed the entrepreneurial journey of over 150,000 aspiring innovators.

Now that we’ve grown and watched the entrepreneurial movement unfold, we aim to help create and sustain strong communities through programs, resources, and a powerful network of leaders.

Startup Weekend at Coca-Cola

"At Coca-Cola, we believe that entrepreneurs walk among us, and that large organizations must embrace startup skills to continue to be successful in a changing world.” - Carie Davis, global innovation director

For three days in June, 100 Coca-Cola associates in Atlanta gathered to pitch ideas, form teams based on a shared passion and mindset, and launch an idea. Teams focused on creating a viable business model, building prototypes to validate ideas with real customers, and refining a pitch for a panel of judges.

When you’re free to have your own ideas, pursue your dreams, start you own businesses, server your communities, it isn’t just good for your nations; it means more prosperity and progress for us all.

What People are Saying

Startup Weekend is a global phenomenon that has attracted and encouraged a new generation of entrepreneurs. Startup Weekend has changed the world.

DAVID COHENFounder and CEO of TechStars

It’s amazing to see what Startup Weekend provides for individuals and communities on an event level, but the global community that has been created as a result of recurring events around the world has resulted in an organization with endless potential to be the starting point not just for any

but also to find a support system in any community from which they can grow and continue to learn as an entrepreneur.

BRAD FELDManaging Director at theFoundrygroup and Author

Like Prometheus bringing fire, Startup Weekend provides entrepreneurs worldwide with hands-on training on how to build and run startups,. These classes range from a weekend of learning how to work with a team on an idea to a 5-week intensive program on how to actually build a startup. Startup Weekend is bringing fire to entrepreneurial communities worldwide.

STEVE BLANKAuthor and EntrepreneurHaving participated as a judge at

the first event in downtown Las Vegas, I’ve been fortunate to be part of the magic that a Startup Weekend can create. The events can be an amazing starting point for anyone who wants to build on an idea in a safe but action-centered environment where anyone and everyone can get feedback on their first steps. I’ve watched the local downtown Vegas startup scene accelerate its growth as a result of Startup Weekend and the vital role it can play in bringing ideas and people together.

TONY HSIEHZappos.com CEO and VegasTechFund Partner

These apps that people are creating are not only helping people in all kinds of ways -- they are generating 40,000 jobs in London alone. Congratulations to the Telegraph and the brilliant Startup Weekend. Every one of those ideas seems like a winner.
