Do you have a startup idea?  Come and join us for an 8-hour challenge to quickly build a prototype!

1. Come up with an idea.
2. Form a team.
3. Validate.
4. Create a prototype.
5. Pitch!

Do you want to start a new venture but aren’t sure where to start?

Are you searching for a co-founder but don’t know where to look?

Are you going to various networking events, but can’t find like-minded people?

Startup Saturday – 8-Hour Hackathon Challenge is an event dedicated in helping you to find your technical co-founder, and quickly create a prototype. In this event, you bring a previously non-prototyped idea, and work with a team of developers to create magic.   Along the way, you will get a chance to learn many things about what startup is, all in one day!

You will also learn about:

1. Ways to seek out co-founders

2. Idea formation

3. Validation of product/service

4. Tools to create a prototype – from a few screen shots to a physical product

5. Pitching audience – it is who you pitch to! - 10/20/30 rules.

We will provide lunch, all you need is to bring an idea, that has no prior prototype, so you can validate it. We will form various teams with about three to five members per team.  Or we can use the Jigsaw technique to prototype an idea or many ideas.
