Been sitting on your hands, waiting for the right moment to be an entrepreneur?

It’s time to get on your feet and start pitching at Startup Weekend Kansas City, where anyone can float a startup idea and get feedback from newfound peers Nov. 15-17 at the Technical Education Center at Kansas City Kansas Community College, 7250 State Ave.

It’s not too late to sign up: A single $80 ticket ($50 for students) gets you into the collaborative milieu for the entire three-day event, and includes seven meals and beverages. You can choose to bring your own team or lineup onsite to create with developers and engineers, designers or those with non-technical backgrounds.

If you’re not quite ready to make the startup leap, $15 tickets are also available to take in the Friday night pitches and Sunday night presentations.

While the focus of Startup Weekend is unequivocal encouragement and fresh opportunity, it’s also a team competition with prizes that in the past have included office space to build a business and legal, marketing and public relations packages.

Friday night’s featured speaker will be George Brooks, founder of Cremalab.

Judges will include Jeff Shackelford, director of the Digital Sandbox, and Jill Meyer, senior technology development and commercialization specialist with the Small Business Technology and Development Center at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Mentors will include Dan Schmidt, CFO of The Emerging Business; business lawyer Chris Brown of Van Osdol & Magruder; Julie Edge, principal investigator of the Co-Founders Project; software developer Riddhiman Das; Blake Miller, partner at Think Big Partners; and Carrie Royce, veteran business development and marketing specialist.
