Event Schedule...



Friday you show up, have some pizza and meet mentors and other attendees. Bring an idea to pitch so you get others to work with you OR bring your existing startup team and work on what you are doing now! After forming some assumptions we break for the night!

Saturday those assumptions will be tested with customers, likely most of your assumptions will be WRONG, so you will iterate at a crazy speed creating and validating new assumptions. You will go through several Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), most likely a landing page to test the market and iterate until you will find the right market for your idea.

At last, Sunday afternoon you will present your learnings to the other teams and to a jury, this is not just a learning exercise, you will compete with the other teams to win additional mentorship and support.
