Why a special focus on women entrepreneurship?
Typically, most startup weekend events have a 70/30 ratio of men to women participants. In this edition, we want to flip that ratio and create an event focused on promoting women entrepreneurship in Bremen without excluding male participants With women leading less than 20% of startups, we want to create an environment that encourages and supports women entrepreneurs. That’s why we have this Startup Weekend with special focus on women entrepreneurship.We aim to
- Increase in the number of female business-starters & entrepreneurs in the city and region
- Connect women entrepreneurs to the best resources out there
- Expand & advance the economic potential of women
- Have lots of fun
Like
all Startup Weekend events, this one also follows the same basic model:
anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea for 60 seconds, and receive feedback from their peers. Teams
organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote)
and then it’s a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding,
designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with
presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another
opportunity for critical feedback.
Startup Weekend is
a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who
are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful
ventures. It is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs with
over 1500+ events in 150+ countries around the world, and we are now
looking forward to making a BIG dent for women entrepreneurs in Bremen.
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.

Born at Startup Weekend Bremen 2017!
Walter took part in the Startup Weekend Bremen 2017 with the raw idea of wanting to kill the one-way coffee cup (alone in D. 2.8 billion cups every year!).
Meanwhile Cup2date is founded and has developed the concept strongly. A cup deposit system + self-developed ToGo cup that is reusable, recyclable, BPA-free, eco-friendly, made in Germay - and can be used up to 500 times.
How everything started with the Startup Weekend Bremen, he writes here in his blog: https://www.cup2date.de/wie-alles-begann/

Heike Hannemann
Co-Founder BuildX
[ORGA CREW COACH]
Although graduated in business administration, Heike has landed in IT. Thus, she is very interested in developments in digitization and that's why Heike came to participate in the Startup Weekend Bremen in November 2018. At the Startup Weekend their five-person Startup team named Build|X met and immediately won the Startup Weekend.
In the meanwhile their startup renamed as Unitect and they are continuing to work hard on their innovative construction management tool, which is expected to reduce administrative overhead by up to 90 percent.
And because the Startup Weekend was so much fun and pushing, Heike now also in the Orga Crew full engaged to help other people to spark :-)
