Startup Weekend is a three-day program where aspiring entrepreneurs experience startup life. It is a creative and collaborative educational event over a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Open to the public, anyone can develop and pitch new startup ideas. From executive product owners to independent inventors, all are welcome. The weekend includes creating a business model, validating it with potential customers, and competing within a supportive community. This is a global event series led by Techstars, event sponsors, and affiliates.
