<H3 STYLE="text-align: center;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: medium;">Announcing the first ever NYC Startup Weekend Fashion Battle!</SPAN></H3>
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-size: small;">Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. It is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs with over 400 past events in 100 countries. All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: anyone is encouragedto pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it's a 54-hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing and market validation. The weekend culminates with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.<BR><BR>---<BR><BR><STRONG>This Startup Weekend program will take place during the highly coveted New York Fashion Week.</STRONG> We will be concentrating on building out ideas that lend towards the Fashion and Retail industry. Fashion Innovations can represent anything truly new, disruptive and high-growth in the fashion vertical. Often this means employing new materials in new ways, finding a way to automate manual processes, creating methods to aggregate and analyze useful information, or establishing a new product category. How will you use technology to shake up the fashion market?<BR><BR><STRONG>Oh wait, the opportunity (and fun) doesn't stop there!</STRONG> We are coordinating with teams in London, Milan, and Paris to host Startup Weekend Fashion Battles during their respective Fashion Weeks. The winner from each city will compete against one another on October 18th on a global stage!
