Start Norfolk 2.0

Start Norfolk is a weekend-long event bringing together individuals of different mind and skill sets— entrepreneurs, engineers, developers, designers and business people—with the goal of building a viable startup over a weekend. Last November, Start Norfolk launched at the Innovation Research Park at ODU and planning is on-going for the second edition in Spring 2012.
Start Norfolk 1.0 attendees left saying:
- “I felt like I was the Woodstock of Technology; it was legendary.”
- “Titanic event, #2 is a must.”
- “I don’t want to go back home to Atlanta.”
And, during the State of the Union address this year, President Obama said, “Most jobs are created by startups.”
With your support, Start Norfolk can continue to grow the entrepreneurial and startup community here in Hampton Roads.
Review Start Norfolk 2.0 information (PDF) and be a part of the future! Official announcement of the event is February 2nd.
