Elon Law Professor John Flynn comments on the value of the collaborative approach to local entrepreneurial business development within the global Startup Weekend movement in this week’s “Elon Law Now” series.
“The fifth Triad Startup Weekend begins today at Co//ab just blocks from Elon Law in downtown Greensboro. Startup Weekend is a global phenomenon with events in more than 100 countries that help people to build new businesses locally. The collaboration between tech-minded and business-focused entrepreneurs that is at the center of the Startup Weekend experience is a hallmark of our new innovation era.
“Elon Law is proud to support entrepreneurs through our Small Business & Entrepreneurship Clinic, including our partnerships with Co//ab and the Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship, enabling law students to provide legal assistance for new business ventures. The high level of collaboration and creativity in regional Startup Weekend events across North Carolina and the world offers a hopeful signal for local economic success in our globalized economy.”
Triad Startup Weekend is part of a global Startup Weekend organization and network.
