A fun, intense, risk‐free way to get a startup off the ground

Startup Weekend is a 54 hour event starting on a Friday evening with anyone pitching a startup idea. The crowd of 100 or so attendees (a mix of hackers, creative and business people) then vote on the best pitches. About 15 teams are formed around the best ideas which then work through to Sunday evening. The best startups are awarded prizes ranging from cash to in‐kind support from companies.The event is open to anyone interested in the local entrepreneurial community, and it puts them in a setting where anything is possible.

In the past 3 years, 500+ startups have started & 15,000+ entrepreneurs have been inspired. Teams have even started to generate revenue during the 54hr event, and others have even gone on to raise funds from Business Angels or Venture Capitalists. None of these numbers take into account the networking, on‐going professional relationships, and amazing
experience that take place at every event. Startup Weekend’s motto: Build Community. Start Companies. No Talk. All Action.

The event

Around 100 entrepreneurs are expected to take part in the 52 hour startup marathon.Startup Weekend is an adrenalin rush of epic levels from the first pitch through to the last presentation. Coming in alone with an idea on the Friday night and leaving on the Sunday evening with a fledgling startup company, and a bag full of new network contacts is a unique experience only found at a Startup Weekend.

The weekend is being hosted at Microsoft, EGL, Bangalore. We would like to thank Microsoft for hosting SW for third time. We expect in the region of 200 entrepreneurs turning up for the weekend. With these attendance levels, we anticipate between 8‐12 “mini startup companies” being formed with the statistic of 1/3 managing to survive after 6 months.

Adam Stelle, Startup Weekend COO, would be coming to Bangalore for the event. Be there to interact with him and get more tips from him on Startup Weekend events around the world.
