3 Day Startup ... 40 Entrepreneurs, 3 Days, Your Enterprise

3 Day Startup is an entrepreneurship education program designed for university students with an emphasis on learning by doing. The idea is simple: start enterprises over the course of three days. Make Startups ... Bx

• 72 programs on 4 continents have given rise to 39 companies receiving $14.5 million in funding. 33 companies from 3DS have been accepted to accelerators such as Y Combinator, TechStars, and 500 Startups.

The idea of 3 Day Startup is simple: launch an enterprise over the course of three days. We rent work space for an entire weekend, recruit 30 participants with a wide range of backgrounds, cater food and drinks, invite top-notch entrepreneurs and investors, pick the 6 best ideas for a startup during the Friday brainstorming session, and release a minimal prototype by Sunday night. The goal is to build enough momentum among a network of motivated people to sustain the company beyond the weekend.

Who?

Passionate people with an entrepreneurial drive, including students looking to take a shot at an idea, individuals looking to formalize a side job or hobby, business owners looking to expand, Computer Science (PhD, MS, undergraduate), MBAs, law students, graphic designers, PR, business undergraduates, etc. We are looking for strong candidates that can fill the following roles:

• Software Engineer
• Business (Finance, Marketing, Biz Dev)
• Graphic Design (Web, Print)
• Advertising, PR
• Legal
• Other: Wildcards, Raw Passion

Friday, April 11th at 4pm until Sunday, April 13th at 10pm

Where?

Sunshine Business Incubator
890 Garrison Ave
Suite L401
Bronx, New York 10474

Why?

We know many people with great ideas who fail to execute on them for a variety of reasons: lack of time or money, no access to the right people, or not enough confidence to make the plunge. We provide all of the resources to bring an idea to life with the help of 39 other highly skilled and motivated individuals.

3 Day Startup is a great way to get the community excited about entrepreneurship and to spend an intense weekend with creative people who want to actually bring an idea to life as opposed to sitting back and listening to YATAE (yet another talk about entrepreneurship). It’s also a social and business experiment to see how much a group of passionate people can accomplish over the course of 60 hours.
