Over fifty-four hours, strangers will become friends—and founders.
October 17th through 19th will see Techstars Startup Weekend descend on Calgary for a collaboration-focused hackathon that promotes teamwork and turning ideas into action.
“Whether you are a serial entrepreneur or new to the startup scene, you’ll fit right in as long as you are motivated to build a product or startup and are open to new ideas,” say organizers online. “The event is intended to be a collaborative and inclusive forum for sharing, learning, building, and having fun.”
On day one, participants will meet fellow innovators and form teams. On day two, teams work with experts to build businesses with as little as a laptop.
By day three, teams are ready (or not) to pitch and demo their weekend-old startups before a panel of judges.
“You’ll make new connections, find mentors, or maybe even meet your future business partner,” organizers offer. “It’s like a crash course where you learn by doing, with seasoned pros showing you the ropes.”
The Calgary edition of Techstars Startup Weekend is powered by Platform Calgary.
