What is Techstars Startup Weekend?

Techstars Startup Weekend is a dynamic 3-day accelerator program where innovators, developers, and entrepreneurs come together to turn ideas into reality. Develop, prototype, design, and validate your startup ideas while connecting with a vibrant community of like-minded people.

You'll be immersed in an invaluable network of AI mentors and coaches and gain access to resources that will help you refine your concepts and pitch effectively to top Bay Area investors.

Get ready for a high-speed startup experience!

Friday: Pitch and Team Up

Participants pitch their ideas, and the most promising concepts are selected through voting. Teams of 3-5 people form around these ideas, setting the stage for an exciting weekend of collaboration and innovation.

Saturday: Build and Validate

Saturday is all about bringing your startup to life. Teams work tirelessly to develop prototypes, validate their ideas, and refine their business models with the help of mentors and coaches.

Sunday: Pitch and Celebrate

Showcase your newly created startups to a panel of judges and investors. This is your chance to pitch your idea, demonstrate your progress, and potentially secure partnerships. The weekend concludes with a celebration of everyone's hard work and new connections.
