Startup Hackathon

Have an idea that solves a problem? Thinking about launching your own startup/company?

Get ready for Women Who Code DC's first Startup Hackathon. Learn how to market test your idea while working on a fun coding project with a team of developers. If you've ever wondered what it takes to succeed in a startup, this is the place to learn!

Startup Hackathon bridges the development focus of a hackathon and the business processes of building a successful startup. Learn the basics of building a successful startup while working on an interesting coding project.

In two days, participants will work together in teams to develop an early stage prototype, culminating in a presentation to your peers.

Prior to the event, participants can optionally choose to participate in workshops that review the basics of pitching, developing a business plan and understanding your customers, as well as what makes an Minimum Viable Product (MVP) an MVP.

This is a great opportunity to learn Startup Basics and meet co-founders without the stress of pitching to a panel of judges.

Signups will be limited to the first 50 and done through Eventbrite, not Meetup.com. Due to the level of commitment needed from participants, a $20 deposit will be required to secure your spot. The deposit will be refunded as long as you show up on /both/ days!
