Compuware hosts 3-day Startup Weekend starting Friday

Detroit is taking a page from Ann Arbor SPARK's highly successful Entrepreneur Boot Camp with its own Startup Weekend Detroit.

The event will bring together entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and creative people of all stripes. The idea is that bring them all together will help them create their own businesses in Detroit.

Startup Weekend starts with participants pitching ideas for their new businesses Friday evening. They then form teams around the most promising ideas and work on the ideas throughout the weekend.

The event will be held in Compuware's downtown headquarters between Friday and Sunday. It costs $40 to attend. For information, click here.
