Techstars StartUp Weekend - PAI Palooza & GDG Build with AI — Mountain View

​The envisioned event is a groundbreaking fusion of artificial intelligence innovation, competitive hacking spirit, and cutting-edge technological exposition, wrapped in the vibrant atmosphere reminiscent of the Lollapalooza music festival.

​The event is meant to empower entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. It is a 54-hour event that brings together developers, designers, marketers, product managers, and startup enthusiasts to share ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups.

Participants will engage in intense hackathon challenges aimed at harnessing the power of AI to solve real-world problems, innovate, and develop applications that push the boundaries of what's currently possible. Including using AI itself to build MVP with more technical depth in a shortened period of time (48 hours).
