join us to explore your talents, break the rules, and experience starting a business with a team.
The Women’s Business at CEI is proud to be a sponsor of Startup Weekend: Women’s Edition.
Startup Weekend: Women’s Edition is an adventure where women can explore their talents, break the rules, and work with a team to develop creative ideas into successful business plans.
- Friday night begins with an open mic for 60-second pitches that results in small teams forming around the best concepts.
- Teams spend Saturday and Sunday focusing on customer development, validating ideas, and designing prototypes with the help of experienced mentors (our coaches).
- Sunday afternoon, teams pitch their ideas and receive valuable feedback from a panel of judges and prizes are awarded.
