What is Startup Weekend Sheffield (with Lei Nicandro, ex-winner and organiser)

Sheaf Valley: a show about Sheffield's startups is the podcast dedicated to Sheffield's startup ecosystem with the goal of increasing connectedness between and visibility of its ventures.

Episode 3 of season 2 is dedicated to Startup Weekend Sheffield. Startup Weekend is the world's biggest entrepreneurial event organised everywhere around the world. The event spans across a weekend (Friday to Sunday), participants pitch their idea and then build them up until Sunday when they present their pitches trying to win exciting awards.

Startup Weekend Sheffield has a rich history and I'm happy to be organising another one along with my colleagues from the organising team. And one of my ex-colleagues in organising, Lei Nicandro, is joining me for the episode today to speak about the event. Lei also participated and won another edition which makes him even better at discussing the weekend.
