About Techstars Startup Weekend: Techstars Startup Weekends are 54-hour events around experiential education for technical and non-technical entrepreneurs (or aspiring!). Participants create their own working startup group then pitch, brainstorm, plan, and create a basic prototype creation. By the end of the weekend, your group will be able to present your idea. You’ll also hear talks by industry leaders and receive valuable feedback from local entrepreneurs. Whether you’re looking for feedback on an idea, a co-founder, specific skill sets, or a team to help you execute, Techstars Startup Weekends are the perfect environment to build skills and take the first steps towards launching your own startup.
