<span style="color: rgb(100, 100, 100); font-family: Georgia, Palatino, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The idea of 3 Day Startup is simple: start tech companies over the course of three days. We rent work space for an entire weekend, recruit 45 student participants from a wide range of backgrounds, cater food and drinks, and bring in top-notch entrepreneurs and investors. The participants pick the best ideas for startups during the Friday brainstorming session and deliver prototypes and investor pitches on Sunday night.</span>
An example schedule from 3daystartup.org:

Note on equity:
<span style="color: rgb(100, 100, 100); font-family: Georgia, Palatino, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">If your local organizing team decides to use the legal structure, than the 3DS non profit takes 0.5% of '''dilutable '''equity in companies that are formed based around ideas that are presented during the final pitches. The purpose of this is to protect ideas and founders by establishing a clear chain of legal ownership for the ideas. The 3DS organizers never profit or make any money from any work you do.</span>

From 3daystartup.org: <span style="color: rgb(100, 100, 100); font-family: Georgia, Palatino, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The weekend is designed with two specific goals in mind: kick-start new student-run companies and build entrepreneurial capabilities in students and their university communities.</span>
= Distinct Differences From Other Offerings =
The exciting aspects in contrast to something like Startup Weekend is that 3 Day Startup is focused entirely on tech startups, and that they bring in actual investors on the final day. 3 Day Startup has lead to 41 technology startups attracting over $14 million in investment. In fact, in the Texas A&M 3 Day Startup 2012, two startups were funded on the spot on the third day of the program.
Additionally, 3 Day Startup is sponsored by Microsoft and Rackspace, enabling students to free technology and servers for quick building.
Although interested in tech startups, 3 Day Startup encourages participation by all majors at a university.
= Steps Required to Bring Resource to Campus =
*Generate 50 requests on your campus to "unlock it" via [http://3daystartup.org/unlock/ http://3daystartup.org/unlock/]
*Will update with more info
= Contact Information =
Will update soon.
