This month, there are two interesting startup events happening… On the same weekend.
iWeekend Beijing bills itself as “a unique experience that brings together technology entrepreneurs and professionals with diverse talents to select an idea, develop the product, and launch a technology-based startup in just one weekend!” It’s organized by a few of my friends from coworking, with help from the larger iWeekend organization. iWeekend events have typically been held in Europe before, so they have a history with organizing an international group. I’m going to be attending this one because it was announced first and my friends are organizing it.
Startup Weekend Beijing is essentially the same thing, actually. I believe their roots are based more in the US, however. If I weren’t going to iWeekend on the same weekend, I would definitely check it out.
