“VPS hosting is one of our most in-demand services because each plan can be customized to meet the demands of any business,” said Sam Coyl, President and CEO of Netrepid. “For startups, VPS hosting is an ideal platform to build the technology of their business because it can start small and scale very quickly.”
Coyl was one of 13 Harrisburg-area entrepreneurs who served as coaches during the Startup Weekend event, where area entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs get hands-on experience building the various areas of a new venture and determine if their startups are viable. In addition to offering a prize to the top startups from the weekend, Netrepid also served as an event sponsor.
“We were thrilled to have Sam and Netrepid sponsor our inaugural event,” said Chuck Russell, Co-organizer of Startup Weekend Harrisburg. “I greatly appreciate their contribution and commitment to the Central PA startup community.”
According to published reports, Startup Weekend Harrisburg 2014 is scheduled for October 3 to October 5, 2014. Netrepid’s involvement in Startup Weekend Harrisburg 2014 will be forthcoming.
