ECoNA Virtual Startup Weekend Starts Oct. 23

Good morning,

As we continue to celebrate manufacturing month, we wanted to let you know about an upcoming virtual event designed to cultivate tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, including those in the advanced manufacturing sector.

ECoNA is very pleased to announce that we are a launch partner for Arizona’s first-ever, statewide, online Techstars Startup Weekend, which will kick off on Friday, Oct. 23.

In a year when safely hosting an in-person startup weekend is pretty much impossible, this event fills the void by providing a virtual space where aspiring entrepreneurs can connect, learn and take meaningful actions towards launching a new company.

The philosophy behind the event is that “the hardest part of starting up is starting out.” Using this immersive event, entrepreneurs will be able to take giant leaps towards creating their businesses.

In fact, they boast that in three days, participants can come in with just the desire to create their own company and leave with a team and a business ready for launch.

Another benefit to the event is that as a virtual experience, it gives rural areas and smaller cities and towns access to these resources. In fact, one of the stated goals is to engage people from under-represented regions and begin to create a truly statewide startup community.

In addition to ECoNA, local supporters of this event include Moonshot at NACET and the City of Flagstaff.

If you know of someone who could benefit from this “action oriented” weekend and is ready to take the dive into entrepreneurship, please forward this email. For more information about Techstars Startup Weekend, click here.

Sincerely,

Gail Jackson

President & CEO

Economic Collaborative of Northern Arizona
