MAKE YOUR STARTUP IDEA REAL
Techstars Startup Weekend Aarhus is is a 54-hour startup sprint where months of startup learnings, meetups and f**kups are compressed into one single, intense weekend.
Friday is for teaming up around ideas. Participants pitch fresh startup ideas, the room votes, and diverse teams of 4-6 people form around the strongest ones.
Saturday is for building and feedback: Teams spend the day validating, testing and iterating including 1:1 mentor feedback from experienced founders and operators.
Sunday is the final stretch. Teams refine their ideas, prepare their pitches and present to a panel of expert judges before the winners are announced.
PICK your role
Startup Weekend Aarhus is for any future founder with a fresh idea. Whether you are a student, a working professional, or somewhere in between, you belong here. Most participants have never done anything like this before - and that’s the point. The best startups don't start with a perfect plan. They start with an intense weekend.
For 199 DKK (including food and drinks throughout), you get the tools, the network, and the mentors you need to take that first step.
We all started somewhere. Make your startup idea real here.

FAQ
What language will the event be in?

Is this event for me?
If you are interested in startups the answer is most likely yes. Whether you are a serial entrepreneur or new to the startup scene, you’ll fit right in as long as you are motivated to build a product or startup and are open to new ideas. We believe that great ideas can come from anywhere.
