Do you aspire to become the next Mark Zuckerberg?

Give you dream a shot at Startup Weekend Baltimore, which takes place September 28-30 in Locust Point.

The weekend brings together developers, coders, designers, marketing gurus, and businesspeople for a high-energy weekend where aspiring entrepreneurs pitch ideas, form teams, and then present their progress to their peers at the end of the day Sunday. Participants leave with a business model, a website, and a range of business connections to help get their start-up off the ground. 55% of participants continue to work on the project with their team.

A worldwide movement, Startup Weekend has branches in over 200 cities around the globe, from Anchorage, Alaska to Marrakech, Morocco. The weekend has helped conceive successful companies including Foodspotting, a smartphone application that allows foodies around the world to recommend favorite dishes rather than restaurants.
