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. On Sunday evening teams demo their prototypes and receive valuable feedback from a panel of experts.
The SPEA is proud to say that our very own board members were among the judges of the Startup Weekeng (David Schoch). Patricia Gannon and Vuk Guberinic were helping creative young people with their ideas as coaches along with Christen Bradley Farmer.
Startup Weekend was held at The Royal Palace at Bulevar kneza Aleksandra Karadjordjevica 96, 22 – 24 March 2013
