How does Startup Weekend work?
Startup Grind aims to bring together enthusiasts like you to share ideas, form teams, build products, and, most importantly, launch startups.
- Friday: Attendees pitch their ideas and inspire others to join their teams. Teams are therefore created to work on the best ideas.
- Saturday and Sunday: This is where you debate, build, pitch. And build some more. Teams will focus on building a prototype of their idea/product. During this period teams will also focus on customer development, validating their ideas, practicing LEAN Startup methodologies and building a minimum viable product.
- Sunday: In the evening teams demo their prototypes and receive valuable feedback from a panel of experts.
