Building a successful business plan could take years. But a group of local entrepreneurs, designers and developers did it in just 54 hours.
They wanted to 'See the Possible' in growing businesses in Cleveland.
For one weekend (Mar. 8-10), unused retail space in the heart of downtown was transformed into a think tank. Startup Weekend Cleveland was an intense 3-day business building event.
"We had about 25 to 30 people come up and pitch their idea. We then broke those down and narrowed it to a smaller amount of ideas. People formed teams and worked on what we can they actually build this weekend," said Brian Adams, organizer.
