GeekWire Startup Day is less than a month away. Do you have your tickets yet?
This one-day entrepreneurial bootcamp, taking place Friday, Feb. 12, at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, is designed to inform, inspire and educate those thinking about making the startup plunge or already swimming in the deep end.
Early-bird ticket prices end this Friday, so make sure to sign up today by registering here.
Startup Day features a full day of raw insights and advice from more than a dozen startup veterans — plus one-on-one help from top-notch startup investors, lawyers, developers and recruiters, and a chance to demonstrate your own product or service to an influential crowd of geeks in the popular Demo Zone (Just 10 spots remain).
Our lineup of speakers includes Limeade co-founder and CEO Henry Albrecht, OfferUp co-founder CEO Nick Huzar, LiquidPlanner CEO Liz Pearce, BuddyTV CEO and angel investor Andy Liu, Andreessen Horowitz Partner Steven Sinofsky, and many more.
We also just added a panel discussion titled “Bouncing Back from Failure” featuring three entrepreneurs whose businesses have collapsed, and how they dealt with those setbacks and the lessons they learned. In addition, Ja’Warren Hooker, a former U.S. Olympian and standout football and track star at the University of Washington who now leads Hooker Integrated Training, will provide actionable tips and advice on leading a “healthy startup life.”
We also have a couple surprise speakers in the works who’ll be sure to knock your socks off.
Working at a startup is not glamorous or sexy, and our speakers are instructed to candidly share past mistakes, offering actionable tips, advice and lessons that you can implement at your business. We hope you’ll join us for this one-of-kind event, which draws 500 entrepreneurs, investors and other business leaders.
A big thanks to the City of Bellevue for serving as the title sponsor of this year’s Startup Day. For more information on sponsoring this event, contact Daniel Rossi at daniel@geekwire.com.
