Last night marked the very first Startup Drinks. About 25-30 local citizens from diverse backgrounds and career experience met up at the Surly Girl Saloon to enjoy some great beer, really good food and even better conversation. Many of the attendees were already signed up for Startup Weekend Columbus and hopefully those who have not yet signed up, will do so in the near future (before we reach our cap!!!)
Now on to the update!
WE HAVE A BRAND SMANKING NEW LOGO. Lucky for us, the wife of one of the organizers happens to be a talented graphic designer. She was able to tweak an already existing logo that was created for San Fransisco into an awesome design refelcting the Columbus skyline.
In my personal opinion, this logo is HOT. Like SUPER HOT.
Now picture this snazzy logo on a T-shirt! Total hotness. And everyone who participates in Startup Weekend Columbus will receive one!!! That alone is worth the entrance fee!!!
For those of you who may not know, Startup Weekend Columbus is a non-profit event run by volunteers. The entrance fee in combination with sponsorship money and food donations will be used to fund all of the operation and food costs for the weekend. We have been lucky enough to have a few really generous sponsors step forward already, however, we are always in the market for more. The more sponsors = the greater success of the event. SO. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO SPONSOR, you ask?
CHECK OUT THE STARTUP WEEKEND COLUMBUS BLOG -- for information on the four different ways to sponsor and the perks that accompany each sponsorship!!! By sponsoring this event you can join the ranks of Sterling Commerce, TechColumbus, Sun MicroSystems, dynamIT, Dell Equal Logic and Melody Management, LLC.
