Startup Weekend proudly presents its second-ever pilot event focused on fostering innovation & entrepreneurship in the public sector.
In partnership with Code for America, we invite you to join us on June 15-17, 2012, at Microsoft's Chevy Chase office to solve real-life problems faced by federal and local government agencies, citizens, and businesses or to breathe a new life into existing outdated solutions.
Some of the directions, in which you may be interested to work, include:
making government operations more efficient
simplifying government collaboration
reducing barriers to access government resources
facilitating & improving policy-making
supporting & enhancing civic engagement
The final presentations on Sunday will be judged on validation with real-life users, practicality of the prototype, and business model (for revenue-supported products & services) or impact (for grant-supported products and services). We strongly advise considering these criteria when deciding which ideas to pitch and which ones to build during the event.
What is Startup Weekend?
Startup Weekends are weekend-long, hands-on experiences where entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if startup ideas are viable. On average, half of Startup Weekend's attendees have technical backgrounds, the other half have business backgrounds.
Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Over Saturday and Sunday teams focus on customer development, validating their ideas, practicing LEAN Startup Methodologies and building a minimal viable product. On Sunday evening teams demo their prototypes and receive valuable feedback from a panel of experts.
Why do tickets cost so much?
We provide you with meals, snacks, and drinks for 2.5 days.
