ABOUT
Join us as we host the first ever Education focused Startup Weekend in Africa.
Startup Weekend's mission is to teach and promote entrepreneurship in local communities. The real value in a Startup Weekend is not how many startups are launched. Rather, it’s about learning through the act of creation, developing deeper relationships than a typical networking event, matching potential cofounders, validating ideas and experimenting in a risk-free environment, and for many, it’s about taking the first step into entrepreneurship.
We do events that bring developers, designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts together to share ideas, form teams, build products and launch startups. Startup Weekend begin with open-mic 60-second pitches that result in the formation of small teams around the best, most viable concepts. Teams spend Saturday and Sunday focusing on customer development, validating their ideas and building prototypes with the help of experienced mentors. On Sunday, teams demo their products and receive valuable feedback from a panel of experts.
