🌳 Startup Weekends are 54-hour events designed to provide superior experiential education for technical and non-technical entrepreneurs. Beginning with Friday night pitches and continuing through brainstorming, business plan development, and basic prototype creation, Startup Weekends culminate in Sunday night demos and presentations. 


👥 Participants create working startups during the event and are able to collaborate with like-minded individuals outside of their daily networks. All teams hear talks by industry leaders and receive valuable feedback from local entrepreneurs.

🚀 The weekend is centered around action, innovation, and education. Whether you are looking for feedback on an idea, a co-founder, specific skill sets, or a team to help you execute, Startup Weekends are the perfect environment in which to test your idea and take the first steps towards launching your own startup.

FAQ:

  • Are the organisers taking care of food and accommodations?

We will be serving 7 meals throughout the weekend but you need to take care of your own accommodations.

  • What is the language spoken during your event?

A mixture of both. It will often be mainly in Chinese but with some interpretation in English. Language has never been a strong barrier.

  • Who are the other participants?

Similar to you, people interested to become entrepreneurs or fascinated by internet. Business people, tech geeks, and creatives. Some technical, some not! We encourage inclusivity.

  • Do participants have to come with an existing business or idea?

You can come with an idea or a very early stage business (only some market research done). For various reasons, it is better to come with something new!

  • We already have a team and a project, can we still join?

Nop, you come as an individual and not as a team. Take this opportunity to test a new idea and meet with new people!

  • Do projects still continue after Startup Weekend?

Most of the projects won't move forward but some will, it really depends on you and your team. Nevertheless, you will most likely meet your future co-founders and learn a ton!

  • What type of ideas do I need to pitch?

Anything related to technology / internet in a broader sense.

  • What are examples of ideas?

An app to find second hand clothes, a website to find local tour guides, a couponing system for restaurants, a social network for pet owners.

  • What exactly can we expect to make?

We recommend teams to build actual prototypes and you will most definitely have a presentation to pitch and a business model to move forward.

  • Do I need to stay the entire weekend?

Yes! It would be unfair to your team otherwise. If you have personal emergencies, please contact the organising team.

  • I'm working for my own startup or a company, does it make sense to come?

Yes, we don't expect participants to resign on Monday! Come and learn new things, make new friends, connect with coaches and judges, test a new idea, build something cool!

  • I don't want to come the entire weekend, can I just come and look?

You can come to watch the final pitches on Sunday: Get a Sunday audience ticket


Startup Weekend is not a conference, a workshop, or an exhibition. Attendees are expected to work hard and create a new project within 2.5 days!
