Techstars Startup Weekend

Startup Weekend is a 54-hour whirlwind event where you get to be part of building a business in a weekend, Silicon Valley-style. It’s about pitching, business model creation, prototyping, designing and market validation all in a friendly and supportive team environment.

All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model:

• Anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and teams organically form around the top ideas.
• All ideas, applications and platforms are welcome – remember that the sky is the limit!

So, how does it work?
We’re mashing the geeks with entrepreneurs and everyone in between, and locking them in a building together for a weekend, pouring in a heap of caffeine and free food, to see what new ideas come out the other end. This 54-hour event brings together creatives, technologists, designers and developers to experiment with rapid idea generation, Silicon Valley-style.

It is a fast-paced and highly creative event that challenges everyone who attends to make innovative new projects in 54 hours.
