50 Latinx led ventures across 5 cities in 54 hours.... let's do this!
We're making this startup weekend the biggest in history. We’re launching 50 Latinx led ventures... in 54 hours... in 5 cities!!!
We’re bringing 500 Latinxs and allies together for 54 hours in Oakland, LA, Chicago, Miami and New York to ideate and design solutions to the problems affecting the Latinx community.
Startup Weekend participants will be mentored by some of the brightest minds in tech, business, and development. Stay tuned for amazing judges, mentors, and community members.
This is a 54-hour, weekend-long event where:
- Participants pitch and the 10 best ideas formalize as teams (Day 1: Friday, September 29)
- Teams develop products and craft business pitches (Day 2: Saturday, September 30)
- Teams finalize products and pitch to judges panel where top 3 teams are recognized (Day 3 Sunday, October 1)
Participants are encouraged to aim to solve problems directly affecting them and their communities or associated with current events.
The intent behind this event is that 70% of participants and mentors, and 50% of judges be Latinx. Food and beverages will be provided during the weekend. Follow along with #SWLatinxtech and #SWLatinxLA.
