# And you thought regular Startup Weekends were cool

Whenever folks ask me about getting a company started, I always recommend Startup Weekend as an option. In my experience, there’s no better venue for getting a crash course in startup stuff over an accelerated timeframe. Plus you meet potential cofounders and team members. It’s just a great set up. And now, leave it to Oregon to make it even better.

How? Well how about having it close to the coast? That’s right. There’s a [Startup Weekend Oregon Coast](http://communities.techstars.com/usa/florence-or-or-usa/startup-weekend/13033 "Startup Weekend Oregon Coast") taking place in Florence, this weekend, July 13-15, 2018.

> Startup Weekend Oregon Coast is the place to look for a team, create a prototype of your idea, validate your business idea, and receive feedback from experienced entrepreneurs, all in one weekend.

Tickets are $40, which covers three meals, snacks, and an awesome weekend of startupping. If you’re a student, there’s a $10 discount.
