About Techstars Startup Weekend

Over 400,000 people have participated in Startup Weekends in 150 countries, and the Startup Weekend methodology has successfully created thousands of companies, some of which became unicorns (like Zapier).

Startup Weekend is a great place to connect with passionate people driven to build something new. During the course of 54 hours you will learn what it really takes to innovate, disrupt, and start a company from people who’ve been there. Startup Weekend features deep experiential learning through 1:1 sessions with mentors and experts, available to guide you through the early stages of building your startup.

Sometimes, what you really need is more knowledge and the chance to develop your skills in order to go to the next level. Over the course of the Startup Weekend, there are optional speaker sessions, expert tutorials, and workshops available to dive into specific topics and skill sets. So that you can get what you need to progress quickly.
