WHAT MAKES 'STARTUP: DRIVE' DIFFERENT? Excellent question! Here's the deal:
STARTUP: DRIVE is a lot like a Hackathon. (Devs, Designers, Makers, and other entrepreneurial types coming together to make real companies in 54 hours.) But! This event will be focusing on THINGS THAT MOVE.
YOU CAN EXPECT:
- Connected vehicle stuff!
- Mobility tech!
- Freight tech!
- ROCKET ENGINES! (This has happened before.)
- Autonomous tech!
- Hardware!
- Software!
- Excessive exclamation points!!!

- Entrepreneurs looking for a team.
- Hardware types with The Sweet Makey Makey Skills.
- Developers!!!111
- Designers. We *cannot* understate this one. <3!
- Well established professionals with years of experience.
- Students looking for tough challenges.
- People who say 'I have this idea for a startup.'
- PEOPLE WHO HAVE SKILLS!

Who is this event NOT for?
