In just 54 hours, you will experience the highs, lows, fun, and pressure that make up life at a startup. As you learn how to create a real company, you’ll meet the very best mentors, investors, cofounders, and sponsors who are ready to help you get started.
Connect with people driven to build something new from the rich and diverse talent from any county in Arizona. Are you ready to meet your next (cofounder) (friend) (mentor) (investor)?
Discover where you are on the Entrepreneur's Journey. Find the resources available near you. Leave knowing the next steps you need to take on your road to success.
Learn what it really takes to start a company. No book, panel, speaker, or blog post will teach you what you need to know. The only way to learn is the experience of trying.
It’s that simple. Techstars Startup Weekend is designed to get you going, FAST. Your local Organizers will set up the ideal environment for you to be successful and learn as much as possible in just 54 hours.
Powerful ‣ Unifying ‣ Uniquely Arizona
Startup Weekend Arizona is a first of it’s kind event – both statewide and online. In April, as a response to COVID-19, members of the SWAZ organizing team helped create and run the first-ever national, online Startup Weekend. That was a powerful and unifying experience for founders, mentors, facilitators and organizers.
Now we are bringing the powerful and unifying format and making it uniquely Arizona!
