Startup Weekend is a global event where entrepreneurs, developers, designers, and business enthusiasts come together to create new startup ideas in just 54 hours. Participants pitch their ideas, form teams, and work intensively to develop a prototype or business model. The event fosters collaboration and innovation, allowing individuals to learn from each other and gain valuable feedback. At the end of the weekend, teams present their projects to a panel of judges and an audience. The best ideas are recognized, and participants often leave with new connections, skills, and a deeper understanding of the startup process, making it a valuable experience for aspiring entrepreneurs.
