Startup Weekends are 54-hour events where developers, designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come together to share ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups!

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 backgrounds, the other half have business backgrounds.

Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees are encouraged to bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Over Saturday and Sunday teams design and develop business plans while constantly streamlining their startup vision. On Sunday evening teams demo their prototypes, listen to judges’ feedback and in some cities, win prizes.

Startup Weekends are specifically designed for entrepreneurs interested in receiving feedback on an idea, looking for a co-founder, or who want to learn a new skill. We also welcome anyone looking to test the entrepreneurial waters. Startup Weekends are risk-free environments where everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves and dive into the exhilarating world of startups.

创业周末是一个部设立位于西雅图的非盈利组织，在全球各大城市不定期举行的互联网创业活动。一个个素不相识但都热血沸腾的程序员、产品经理、设计师、营销精英和创业爱好者周末聚在一起并自由组队，然后在短短的54小时里里打造互联网产品或商业模式。我们同时还邀请了一批成功的企业家及投资人莅临现场给所有团队作辅导（本期嘉宾名单更新中, 往期请见附件）。

无论您是新手还是老手，不论你来自哪个领域，不论你是想认识新朋友还是想得到名师辅导或接触投资人，不论你是想招募创业团队还是仅仅体验下创业气氛，只有你对创业、对TMT感兴趣，都欢迎加入这个狂欢嘉年华！
