Be Part of Something Bigger On November 13-15, 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, co-founders, and sponsors who are ready to help you get started.

It’s that simple. Startup Weekend is designed to get you going, FAST. It's a hackathon meets business plan competition and this time you'll be a part of Global Startup Battlefield. So not only will you be competing with the teams at your event, but also against the over 300+ events happening around the world! 

Many ideas built during Startup Weekend have gone on to become real companies, raise funding, and have really successful Kickstarter campaigns. Startup Weekend is a great opportunity to learn a new skill, meet great people, and even build a real company!

HARDWARE PEEPS!
For this event, Boomtown (An accelerator here in Boulder) has agreed to let hardware teams work out of their really awesome and brand new IOT lab. So if you are in, want to be, or interested in being in the hardware space, we have a place for you to build your idea! Be part of a global event, register today.

• Business Model
  Can this idea make money? Is there positive customer growth or revenue? Is there a customer acquisition / rollout strategy? Has a revenue model been defined and is it realistic?
• Customer Validation
  Did the team identify customers (demographic, location etc)? Did the team get out and talk to customers? What is the value proposition to customers? What channels of communication are used? Product/Market fit?
• Technical – Execution
  Is there a functional product (e.g.in the case of an app, did they build one)? Were architecture diagrams and API signatures included? Which services did they integrate with? How much of the product is running on a real server with non-sample data?
• Design – Execution
  Does it have a professional look and feel? Does it deliver a compelling and captivating user experience? Is it memorable? What key insights were gathered over the weekend to go in this creative direction?
