Do you have an idea you would like to sell or a problem that you want to solve but do not know where and how to start?

Startup Weekend is an event where you can meet a great team, create a prototype out of your idea, define & evaluate your business plan, and get feedback from industry leaders with whom you can consult all during the event.

When: 11. – 13. 5. 2018

Where: Centrum robotiky, Cukrovarská 23, Plzeň

What do you need for an event?

Mainly a lot of energy 🙂 !! Introduce your idea, listen to the ideas of others, then choose the best projects and build project teams. You can come with your friends or yourself, but it will give you the most when you work with new people. Remember, it’s all about the team!

Your idea should be something new, something you still have no room to work on. Your idea or the problem you want to address can solve problems in many areas – social, educational, financial, etc. During the Startup Weekend, you get the necessary support to create a prototype and verify your idea among potential customers. These are the things you need to target the customer 🙂 You get feedback and look at everything from different perspectives.

I eat all day
Benefits and rebates from all global partners
Possibility of consulting from the top in their field
