Techstars Startup Weekend, in partnership with Google for Startups, returns to CSUMB on January 25-27, 2019.

This year’s event will be held at the CSUMB University Center beginning at 4:00 pm on Friday, January 25th. Participants will work through the weekend to create their businesses and the public will be able to see the teams present to a panel of judges on Sunday, January 27th at 5:00 pm.

Techstars Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. You can view this video to see how it works. Beginning with Friday night pitches and continuing through testing, business model development, and basic prototype creation, Startup Weekends culminate in Sunday night demos to a panel of potential investors and local entrepreneurs. Participants are challenged with building functional startups during the event and are able to collaborate with like-minded individuals outside of their daily networks.

Startup Weekend is open to all community members and students. The price is $99 ($49 for students). The ticket price covers the costs of seven meals and lots of coffee.
