Budding entrepreneurs can see if they have what it takes to embark on the start-up journey at the upcoming Startup Weekend in November.
Startup Weekend Dublin is taking place during the annual Global Startup Weekend Challenge, which will see 15,000 entrepreneurs come together for over 200 events across the world in November.
This is the sixth year of the event in Dublin which is supported by Google for Entrepreneurs and Bank of Ireland.
The Dublin segment take place from 11-13 November at Google’s EMEA HQ on Barrow Street.
Over the course of the weekend, total strangers will come together to devise, research, and prepare business plans and minimal viable products, and pitch them before an audience of peers and exacting judges.
“It’s great to be back for our second event of the year to introduce a whole range of new people into the unpredictable and ultimately amazing world of entrepreneurship,” said Gene Murphy, lead organiser at Startup Weekend Dublin and entrepreneur-in-residence at Bank of Ireland.
