Startup Weekend

Startup Weekend is a global initiative that brings together professionals and entrepreneurs with diverse backgrounds to build startups over a 54-hour period. Participants pitch their ideas and then form teams around the most promising ones, with the goal of creating a functioning prototype or minimum viable product by the end of the weekend. The event culminates with a pitch competition in front of a panel of judges and an audience to determine the most viable startup. Startup Weekends are hosted all over the world and aim to foster entrepreneurship and community building within local startup ecosystems.
