Edgelink is a Returning Gold Sponsor of Portland Startup Weekend 2014
Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) October 31, 2014 -- Edgelink is pleased to announce that we will be a returning gold sponsor for Portland Startup Weekend, taking place November 14 – 16, 2014. PSU Business Accelerator, Oregon’s leading technology incubator and the home to more than 30 promising technology and science startups, will host the event.
Portland Startup Weekend seeks to provide opportunities for entrepreneurs to pitch ideas to gain funding and teammates to transform their concept into a reality. Participants get 60 seconds to pitch an idea on Friday night and if they are chosen to continue in the competition, they will have a working prototype in order by Sunday night, 54 hours later. Investors and sponsors contribute ideas, hosting, tools and plenty of feedback throughout the process. PSU Business Accelerator is an ideal location, providing office and lab space plus a menu of services designed with the fast-growing startup's needs in mind. This highly energetic and innovative event seeks to launch teams and startups in one weekend.
“Startups are near and dear to our hearts at Edgelink. Portland Startup Weekend provides excellent networking opportunities for people looking to turn their ideas a reality and a business that can grow and prosper. We are so pumped to be part of the action and hear the great ideas people bring to the table,” said Mike Miadich, founder and VP of Contract Services at Edgelink.
Startup Weekends are held throughout the world to provide inspiration and support to aspiring entrepreneurs. The events help businesses determine if their ideas are viable and how they can be brought to market.
