Go from an idea to customer validation + prototype + team + mentors in 54 hours

All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model:

  • Everyone who has an idea is most welcome to pitch them on Friday evening.
  • Teams are formed organically around the top ideas(determined by popular vote).
  • Teams then go ahead and brainstorm, perform market validation, if applicable step out and do some customer interviews to know what they want, build surveys and float it around, create a business model based on customer/market feedback/requirements, design, code and build a prototype.
  • As the teams work on the above activities, they also receive mentoring and feedback from experienced entrepreneurs
  • These teams then demo the prototypes and pitch their ideas to a panel of entrepreneurs and angel investors on Sunday night.
  • While 3 winning teams will walk away with some cool prizes, each and every participant will go back with a memorable learning experience and new friends.
