I managed all logistics, marketing, social media promotion and fundraising for Startup Weekend events hosted in Detroit. I've since stepped back from my role to focus on other initiatives. Startup Weekends are 54-hour events designed to provide superior experiential education for technical and non-technical entrepreneurs. Beginning with Friday night pitches and continuing through brainstorming, business plan development, and basic prototype creation, Startup Weekends culminate in Sunday night demos and presentations. Participants create working startups during the event and are able to collaborate with like-minded individuals outside of their daily networks. All teams hear talks by industry leaders and receive valuable feedback from local entrepreneurs. The weekend is centered around action, innovation, and education. Whether you are looking for feedback on a idea, a co-founder, specific skill sets, or a team to help you execute, Startup Weekends are the perfect environment in which to test your idea and take the first steps towards launching your own startup.I also traveled to various cities to assist with the management of Startup Weekend events, work with mentors and act as an ambassador of the organization. I've facilitated events in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Tampa, FL and Orange County, CA.

A joint initiative launched by Startup Weekend & Kauffman Foundation in July 2011, The Startup Foundation was designed to research and cultivate entrepreneurial ecosystems within cities around the globe. The initial Startup Foundation launch cities include Seattle, Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, Des Moines, IA, and Sao Paulo, Brazil.The pilot program was eventually closed in order to focus efforts on growing the reach of Startup Weekend.
