The Pensacola area's third version of Startup Weekend is coming this weekend.
Startup Weekend's are organized online and bring angel investors, entrepreneurs and big idea types together for a a weekend blitz of brainstorming, marketing and idea generation.
WUWF's Dave Dunwoody interviewed the organizer of the Oct. 17-19 Startup Weekend, Kyle Schmitz.
"It's really going to be about the experience, we want you to have a good time, we want you to meet other people in the community, we want you to find people that can help you build your idea. We're not necessarily looking to launch and build 10 or 12 successful companies from this. If you're interested in entrepreneurship or building a startup this is just a really great way to start that."Read the interview here.
