Leading up Latina Equal Pay Day on November 20, 2019, we are bringing
exposure, awareness, and an experiential way to learn about tech to
the community. We aim to inspire potential Latina entrepreneurs in the
community to breathe life into their ideas and learn how to bridge the
gap from ideation to prototype with customer validation.
We're gathering 100 Latina entrepreneurs in the making and allies over
54 hours, to identify and design technology solutions to problems
disproportionately facing the U.S. Latinx community.
Our main focus is on tech solutions, but we welcome all ideas that
will help to create a future fueled by more Latina leadership and
experiences.
Do you have an idea you'd like to pursue or a problem you'd like to
solve but don't know where to start or who to start with?
Techstars Startup Weekend is the place to look for a team, create a
prototype of your idea, validate your business idea, and receive
feedback from experienced entrepreneurs, all in one weekend.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BRING?
Lots of energy! You'll pitch your own idea or listen to others, then
vote on the most interesting ideas and form teams with diverse skill
sets. You can come with friends, but you’ll get the full experience
if you participate in separate teams. Remember, it’s all about the
team.
Your idea should be something you have not previously worked on. The
idea you pitch and the problem you set out to solve can span social,
educational, financial, environmental, or other issues. Over the
course of the weekend, you'll be challenged to create a prototype of
your MVP, or minimum viable product, that fits the needs of your
target customer. You'll get feedback, iterate, and likely pivot your
approach entirely! Important: You cannot have worked previously on
your idea.
TECHSTARS STARTUP WEEKEND IS A FULL WEEKEND-long experience. Your
ticket includes:
* 7 full (and delicious) meals over the course of the weekend
* Benefits and discounts from our global partners
* One-on-one time with amazing mentors
* A new network of developers, designers, and entrepreneurs eager,
like you, to change the world.
* All the internet and coffee you can consume.

movement!
