A new Startup Weekend is coming to Neuchâtel

Startup Weekends are weekend-long, hands-on experiences where entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if startup ideas are viable. On average, half of Startup Weekend’s attendees have technical backgrounds, the other half have business backgrounds.
 
Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees are encouraged to bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Most ideas are web & tech focused, but almost any new business needs a web, marketing, and business strategy regardless if it is tech centric. Over Saturday and Sunday teams design and develop business plans while constantly streamlining their startup vision. On Saturday evening teams demo their prototypes, listen to judges’ feedback and win prizes.
 
Is it for me? Startup Weekends are specifically designed for entrepreneurs interested in receiving feedback on an idea, looking for a co-founder, or who want to learn a new skill. We also welcome anyone looking to test the entrepreneurial waters. Startup Weekends are risk-free environments where everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves and dive into the exhilarating world of startups.
 
The next Startup Weekend in Neuchâtel will take place from 12 to 14 October. The event will be held in French and English. That means you can present an idea and work all the weekend with the language you want. Registration is necessary. The fee for the event is CHF95 (CHF75 for students).
