Who should attend Techstars Startup Weekend: SSU?
The most important part of a Startup Weekend is YOU!
Techstars Startup Weekends run start to finish over the course of a single weekend. This means successful teams need to have an abundance of creative energy and a passion for solving problems to finish strong.
Successful teams have a mix of creative and analytical thinkers.
Co-founders
The most important factor in whether a startup thrives or fails is its co-founders. Do you have the expertise to start a business from scratch? Perhaps you need someone with a background in coding, engineering, or social media marketing? It’s all about teamwork!
Don’t fret the small stuff. Think big picture!
