Startup Weekends are powerful events. There will be talks, discussions and one-on-one support by professional coaches. Inputs on business models, design thinking and pitching will give you the needed structure while not limiting your creativity.
After three days of development you will be ready to present your idea to a jury of experts. The best idea will be awarded a prize. The hall of ewz Selnau will transform into a creative laboratory complete with inspiring working and recreational areas. |
Tools & Concepts
We will provide you with some tools and concepts. The most important of them is the Business Model Canvas. It enables you to efficiently sketch and define your business plan over the weekend.
The inputs of our speakers will focus on questions that are relevant to you as a rookie - sharing their knowledge with you is ment as both a source of inspiration and insights. Coworking, coaching and the final pitch - you will grow with your team as the event progresses. |
