Startup Weekends are like summer camp meets Shark Tank meets hackathon meets MBA program. Needless to say, this is an action-packed, 54-hour event you won’t want to miss!
It all starts with an idea.
Pitch
Whether you’ve thought on an idea for 5 seconds or 5 years, record a short 60 second video explaining who you are, the problem you’re trying to solve, your solution, and the talent you need. Visit our pitching resource for more information! Don’t have an idea to pitch? That’s okay – you can join a team and learn the process with their idea!
You are not your user.
Validate
Once teams form organically around an idea, it’s off to the races! You’ll spend the rest of the weekend learning how to validate an idea, form a business model, and build a minimum viable product. If these words don’t make sense, don’t worry! We’ll have virtual, interactive workshops to educate you over the weekend and helpful mentors to live-chat or video call along the way.
Jump in the tank with the sharks.
Present
The weekend wraps up with a Shark Tank-style pitch in front of a panel of judges. You’ll record your 5 minute pitch to present everything you’ve learned over the weekend for a chance at winning awesome prizes that will help you and your team further your journey. Judges will watch your pitch “live” during our closing ceremony and challenge you with a live Q&A.
