What to expect during Startup Weekend Orlando
If you’re wondering whether a new business can start up over the course of a weekend — and become successful — consider LeaseCake.
The Orlando company participated locally in Techstars Startup Weekend and won nationally, beating out 12,000 other attendees from 200 cities, 58 countries and six continents. LeaseCake tracks leases through an online platform, aiming to make property management easier for small and midsize property owners.
Back in 2017 — as happens every year at these events — Startup Weekend participants split into groups and built companies from the ground up within 54 hours. On Friday night, teams are formed. Saturday is slated for business model development and Sunday the teams pitch what they’ve made. That’s a simplified breakdown; there are many micro-steps along the way.
