6/23/14 - An event coming to Howell is designed to foster the importance of entrepreneurship in communities. Startup Weekend Howell will take place in early November but organizers are soliciting sponsors and encouraging participants to register now. It's part of a global grassroots movement to bring entrepreneurs together to create businesses over a long weekend but centered on action, innovation and education. It totals 54 hours from start to finish, with people coming together to pitch ideas and create businesses. The weekend is being organized by a group of local entrepreneurs and supporters that share a desire to grow business and entrepreneurship in Livingston County. One is Candy Jones-Guerin, the owner of WebWorld Advantage. She says the prospect of starting a business in a weekend is really exciting and people travel from all over the world to the various events because it’s their “marathon”. However, Guerin says the focus is really about making people feel confident in pulling a team together to start a business. The event will encompass all ages and backgrounds. Participants are being sought with an interest in entrepreneurship - based in technology or marketing, programmers and designers, website businesses, technology-based applications, or people interested in making new products. In addition to participants and supporting sponsors, partnerships with schools and students are also needed. Details about Startup Weekend Howell are available through the link below. (JM)
