Start Something Weekend

Start Something Weekend

Richard H. Barry HallFargo, ND
Friday, Mar 20 from 5:30 pm to 10 pm
Overview

Got an idea? Bring it to life in one weekend. Build solo or with a team, pitch it, and win cash + resources to keep going.

What You’ll Do

Over the course of the weekend, you’ll:

  • Meet people who are curious, creative, and action-oriented
  • Explore ideas (yours or someone else’s)
  • Form small teams around shared interests
  • Participate in guided exercises and workshops
  • Build something from scratch — big or small
  • Compete for $3,000 in prize money
  • Learn practical tools you can use again and again


Schedule

Friday, March 20 | 5:30-10:00 pm

Saturday, March 21 | 8:30am-5:30pm

Participants will receive detailed schedule.


💰 Prizes

Teams will have the opportunity to compete for $3,000 in total prize money, awarded to standout projects that demonstrate creativity, collaboration, and momentum.

This is not about having the “best startup idea” — it’s about showing progress, teamwork, and a willingness to try.

Do I need a business idea to win?
No. Prizes reward creativity, collaboration, and progress — not polish.

Do I have to compete to participate?
Nope! You can fully participate without focusing on the competition.
