HOW IT WORKS

You don't need any experience in tech or the startup ecosystem. Just come with a collaborative spirit, be prepared to have fun and soak in all the knowledge about how to create your very own startup business.

​

On the first evening, our event facilitators will break the ice as you break bread and get to know your fellow attendees. Anyone who would like to pitch a startup idea is given 60 seconds to give it a go. Afterward, participants who wish to get the full startup experience will vote on their favorite ideas and join their teams.

​

Over the course of the weekend, participants will continue to meet up with their team as they attend workshops on building a business plan, customer validation, marketing, and mastering their pitch. Participants will also work closely with experienced mentors, who will provide guidance and support as they develop their ideas.

​

At the end of the weekend, the teams will present a pitch deck to the audience and an expert panel of judges for their chance to win valuable prizes.

No Ideas? No Worries. Join a Team and work with them or just come watch the magic!

HOW TO PREPARE

You can find a list of tools that can help you prepare for the weekend HERE.

Doing some market research will give you a better understanding of the problem you are trying to solve. Practice your pitch. You'll have 60 seconds on Friday to persuade other participants to join your team. Make it clear, concise, and convincing!

The elements of a good 60 second pitch are to:

• State who you are and what your background is

• Mention what problem your product is solving

• Explain the product and how it solves the problem

• What skill sets you need on the team like a developer, marketer or designer

• Provide a name for your startup

• Get familiar with some of the tools that you can use during the weekend like the Lean Canvas.
