Startup Weekend Bristol

No Talk. All Action. Launch a Startup in 54 hours. We are bringing the TechStars Startup Weekend event in Bristol for the first time on the 16th of March! Stay tuned! 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 or design 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, while getting guidance from mentors. On Sunday evening teams demo their prototypes and receive valuable feedback from a panel of experts. In just 54 hours, you will experience the highs, lows, fun, and pressure that make up life at a startup. As you learn how to create a real company, you'll meet the very best mentors, investors, cofounders, and sponsors who are ready to help you get started. - Connect with people driven to build something new. - Find the resources available near you. - Learn what it really takes to start a company. The only way to learn is the experience of trying. - An ideal environment to learn as much as possible in just 54 hours.
