Neustar Sponsors Popular Gathering of Entrepreneurs
54 hours. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to launch a community – or perhaps even the next great company. Columbus Startup Weekend is here – and Neustar’s .biz and .us Domain Name Registry Team is a proud sponsor!
“This event brings hundreds of people together over the course of a weekend to network and develop ideas into businesses, said Ivor Sequeira, Neustar’s Senior Director, Global Channel Management & Business Development. “From our perspective, the .biz and .us domains are a perfect fit for the innovative and passionate people who are constantly thinking of ideas for applications, websites, and companies. The affordable options, meaningful association with the business community and the United States, respectively, are only a few of the benefits of owning and operating a website, application or company using .biz and .us domains. In addition, Neustar is awarding an additional $500.00 to the teams with the most viable ideas. This money can be used to secure an LLC, buy more domains, pay for hosting, project tools – basically, whatever other resources the group needs to launch their idea.”
It’s hard to pin down exactly what transpires at a Startup Weekend – but suffice it to say that when you put a group of highly motivated developers, business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic artists and others together for an entire weekend to concept and create, the brainstorms don’t stop. Upon entering the event, groups decide what type of challenge they want to address – and a little more than two intense days later, come away with a fully developed idea, company or project. The program has been so popular, in fact, that it has already expanded to over 50 cities and 12 countries.
Startup Weekend is a 501(c)6 Non-Profit organization. Visit the official Columbus Startup Weekend website at http://columbus.startupweekend.org/.
