Friday: Pitch and Team Up
Saturday: Build and Validate
Sunday: Pitch and Celebrate
Participants pitch their ideas, and the most promising concepts are selected through voting. Teams of 3-5 people form around these ideas, setting the stage for an exciting weekend of collaboration and innovation.
Saturday is all about bringing your startup to life. Teams work tirelessly to develop prototypes, validate their ideas, and refine their business models with the help of mentors and coaches.
Showcase your newly created startups to a panel of judges and investors. This is your chance to pitch your idea, demonstrate your progress, and potentially secure partnerships. The weekend concludes with a celebration of everyone’s hard work and new connections.
