 Birmingham Startup will host its second event during the two weekends surrounding Small Business Week. The event provides a forum for individuals with web-based business ideas to compete and receive extensive guidance on how to build their business over the course of the first weekend. Selected teams who successfully complete the business development weekend are then connected with developers (web design, graphic artists, etc) who will compete to build a functional beta website over the following weekend. To register/apply for this event, please visit www.birminghamstartup.com email info@birminghamstartup.com.

 Small Business Week is planned and executed by the Small Business Committee. For questions or concerns, please contact Ashley Grigg at (205) 241-8136.
