Mashup Lab, an organization devoted to building startups in Atlantic Canadian rural communities, has issued the following press release:

Bring business ideas to life at Mashup WeekendSouthwest Nova Scotia

October 23, 2014 – This fall is the right time to take that business idea you’ve been chewing on and put it into action. How? By attending Mashup Weekend, Southwest Nova’s biggest ever business creation weekend. From November 21st to 23rd at three locations in Bridgewater, Kentville and Yarmouth, aspiring entrepreneurs will come together for 54 hours of breakneck business building.

Here’s how Mashup Weekend works: Share your new business idea. Choose the best ideas and build teams from the talent in the room. Work together to make your business dreams a reality. Finally, present the new business to a panel of entrepreneurs for free expert advice! You might even win a prize.

Andrew Button is the CEO and founder of Mashup Lab, the organization behind Mashup Weekend. “If it sounds intense, that’s because it is,” he says. “But it’s also a lot of fun. Where else will you find the time, resources, space and most important -amazing people – to learn about entrepreneurship and maybe even start a business?  This is life-changing stuff!”

Wondering if Mashup Weekend is for you? If you have a business idea you’d like to try out and you’re looking for a friendly and enthusiastic bunch of people to help  you get there, the answer is yes. You don’t need business experience. All you need is energy and a willingness to share your talents. Thanks to generous sponsorship, registration is only $60 and includes all meals and snacks.

Everybody’s an expert in something. Put your strengths to work for yourself, your team and your community. Register for Mashup Weekend today at mashuplab.ca.
