KickStartz
In a nutshell, Kickstartz is about bringing together brilliant minds to create incredible products and businesses over a weekend.
What is Kickstartz?
KickStartz is an intense 3 day event bringing techies, designers, marketers, and business folks together to create businesses, projects, and work through their ideas!
Idea submissions will be presented in an “Elevator Pitch” format to the attendees. The attendees will vote the ideas down to 10 or so finalists. The attendees will then be
Broken out into teams and will literally create these businesses over the duration of the event. The final evening will be reserved for presentations of the finished / semi finished
Ideas.
What is a KickStartz weekend like?
The weekend is part zen, part rock concert, and 100% fun! It starts Thursday night at 6pm and ends Saturday at 9pm, the hours in between are up to the attendees. KickStartz provides facilities, food, and a T-shirt. After that, it’s really up to the attendees, their drive and ambition to get things done.
What is on the agenda?
The only agenda is when we will have guest speakers and when the food will be available. Other than that, the agenda is entirely up to the attendees.
Do you really expect to launch businesses in a weekend?
Yes that is the premise of the event, although it truly depends on the attendees, their ideas, motivation, and team collaboration. In fact the general goal is to launch between 5 and 10 businesses during a KickStartz weekend.
What about details like legal, ownership, members etc?
The team members working on the products will determine these issues during the weekend.
What happens once the weekend ends?
Hopefully you’ll walk away with a number of new friends and contacts. In addition, we hope that you continue to work with your teams on your business ideas and make them successful.
