Techstars Lincoln Startup Week, a week to celebrate, engage, and connect the entrepreneurial community, is back October 18th– 25th for its eighth year! The week successfully kicked off Friday night with a masquerade martini competition at Turbine Flats.
Whether you are a Lincoln Startup Week veteran or this is your very first time attending Lincoln Startup Week, there is something for everyone, including Startup Week Basecamp at FUSE Coworking. Anyone attending Lincoln Startup Week is welcome to co-work at FUSE and take advantage of free coworking, connections, and networking all week long.
Educational sessions and interactive workshops are happening all week, too. Fundraising, intellectual property, social impact, and startup fundamentals will all be covered by our lineup of experts. We also have a great track Wednesday morning when the Inside/Outside Summit speakers take over Lincoln Startup Week.
