Ever wondered what it takes to be an entrepreneur? The professional and personal challenges, the high and lows, the failures and the success? Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures.
It is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs with over 500 past events in 100 countries.
All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea (or not) and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it's a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.
Whether you want to found a company, find a cofounder, meet someone new, or learn a skill far outside your usual 9-to-5, you are guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups.
