San Luis Obispo's first Startup Weekend is on track to prove that a shaky economy is no match for great ideas and passionate people.

Softec, the Central Coast Software and Technology Association, is proud to sponsor this event and encourage our membership to participate.  Organized by a dedicated group of Cal Poly students, Startup Weekend SLO will take place on campus from January 20-22. Both students and community members are encouraged to attend; registration is open now.

Over the course of one weekend, participants will pitch ideas, listen to speakers, form groups and create a practical business model - all in 54 hours. Ideally, they will have the tools and the team to launch their own startup by Sunday evening.

Softec strongly encourages local business owners, entrepreneurs, and potential investors to attend and not lose this unique opportunity.  Even if you cannot participate for the entire weekend, you can attend the pitches on Saturday or Sunday evening as a spectator.

Students can get a discount by using the code "STUDENT2".
