The first ever Startup Weekend Orange County is coming to Chapman University from November 18-20. This is a weekend-long, hands-on experience where entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if startup ideas are viable. On average, half of Startup Weekend's attendees have technical backgrounds, the other half have business backgrounds.

 

Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Over Saturday and Sunday teams focus on customer development, validating their ideas, practicing LEAN Startup Methodologies and building a minimal viable product. On Sunday evening teams demo their prototypes and receive valuable feedback from a panel of experts.

 

TCA Members mentoring and judging include Richard Sudek, Ray Chan, Jeff Erle, Stewart Roberts, Amir Banifatemi, Dave Carter, John Kensey, Paul Darbee, and Jonathon Schuster.  

 

This is an event you don't want to miss!
