Open Range and Techstars Omaha are hosting Startup Weekend June 5-7 at the Catalyst building in the EDGE District, and invite UNMC faculty, staff and students who are curious about startups to participate.
Startup Weekend is a three-day immersive experience where participants build something from scratch alongside a room full of motivated people. Some arrive with ideas ready to pitch. Others show up to help bring those ideas to life. Everyone leaves with something real.
The event is ideal for faculty, staff and students who have thought about launching a venture, solving a problem or are simply interested in exploring what entrepreneurship feels like in practice. No business experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to collaborate.
Startup Weekend is designed for:
- Existing and aspiring founders.
- Designers and marketers.
- Developers and builders.
- Students and career switchers.
The event takes place at Catalyst Omaha, 4601 Catalyst Court, with the following schedule:
- Friday, June 5: 5:30-10 p.m.
- Saturday, June 6: 7 a.m.-10 p.m.
- Sunday, June 7: 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Ticket holders receive access to skilled builders, innovative minds and expert mentors — plus food, coffee and swag throughout the weekend. Student tickets are $50, and early bird tickets are $75. Early bird pricing ends Friday, May 22, at 11:59 p.m.
