Startup America Partnership, a Washington D.C. nonprofit created two years ago by AOL Inc. co-founder Steve Case to jumpstart entrepreneurship, is joining forces with Startup Weekend, another nonprofit based in Seattle.
The move, which is expected to be announced Thursday, is being described as a way for Startup America to extend its three-year mission to boost startup activity in regions outside of technology hubs, like San Francisco or New York. Startup Weekend's chief executive, Marc Nager, will be leading the combined effort, officials say.
