This is a 3-day event.

The Startup Challenge is a weekend of DOING not TALKING and we will support you in making traction on an idea you have been looking to bring to fruition! It is a weekend-long experiential learning event: Friday night through Sunday night. Teams must be present for the bulk of the weekend.

We begin by forming teams around brand-new ideas.

• Anyone’s welcome to participate — even if you don’t have an idea.
• Teams have just one weekend to turn the idea into a real business, and you’ll learn how by doing it.
• We have all the resources you need to succeed.
• No business knowledge or special skills required.

If you’re wondering if the Startup Challenge is right for you, then it probably is!
