Greetings!

 

Startup Weekend is coming to Chicago!

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. 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.

 

When: November 16-18

Where: 1871

What does 30Second Mobile do?
 
30Second Mobile is a new-media company redefining content, conversations and connections for mobile platforms by sharing authentic information in engaging formats of about 30 seconds or less. The first brand launched by 30Second Mobile is 30Second Mom, a stream-based website, iPhone and Android app tied into the leading social networks that provide time-strapped moms with helpful tips - each in about 30 seconds or less via text and/or video - delivered to their smartphones, tablets or computers. 
Why do you care?
Moms are an economic force to be reckoned with. They make the overwhelming majority of household purchasing decisions and rely on their smartphones more and more to help them stay connected and on track about everything from schedules to brands and beyond - while spending an average of 6.1 hours a day on mobile. 
 
Consumers and the business marketplace have responded favorably to 30Second Mobile. In our first year, we've grown our contributor base more than 200 percent, been included in numerous media features (Fast Company, Crain's, WGN-TV and more), and the company was selected as one of the "5 Hottest Start-ups in Chicago" by The Digital Collective, and nominated for "Mobile App of the Year" by the Moxie Awards.
