We hope you had a great weekend, Philadelphia. One that nothing disappointing happened to you. A weekend that you did not oversleep and miss an important meeting. A weekend that didn’t crush what little hope you had left for February. A weekend where … you know what? This could go on for a while. We better get to the events.
This week: PSL’s Founders Factory returns, find your next co-founder and play some games.
Founders Factory – Just like its host Philly Startup Leaders, the long-running Foudners Factory is getting a reboot. Usually a rotating group of local speakers, now Founders Factory will feature a group of local startups fighting it out Shark Tank-style for a prize pack from sponsors. Thursday. 10:00 a.m. University City. INFO.
Social Media Plus – Speakers from Facebook and businesses like SAP and Twitter and more will be in Philadelphia to talk social media and business. Also making an appearance, former @ComcastCares pioneer Frank Eliason. All Day. Tuesday and Wednesday. Center City. INFO.
Co-Founders Wanted – We’ve seen lots of tech folks looking for a business lead and vice versa. Meet your match at Co-Founders Wanted to build the next great local startup team. The multi-city group will be meeting at King of Prussia. Tuesday. 7:00 p.m. King of Prussia. INFO.
IGDA Philadelphia 2011 Chapter Dev Demo Night – We usually use this space to convince you why you should attend our highlighted event. However, Event Highlights doesn’t think you’ll need much convincing to play hand-crafted local video games, right? Wednesday. 6:30 p.m. Center City. INFO.
