Startup Weekend Maui
May 19, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - May 21, 2017 @ 9:00 pm
No Talk, All Action. Launch a Startup in 54 Hours!
Startup Weekend Maui returns on May 19-21, 2017! Hosted by the Maui Economic Development Board (MEDB), this empowering event will provide active entrepreneurs with an opportunity to learn how to launch a company in 54 hours. The event will be held at MEDB's Malcolm Center at 1305 North Holopono Street, Suite 5 in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii.
In just one weekend, participants will experience the highs, lows, fun, and pressure that make up life at a startup. Surrounded by smart, passionate people and with the best tools and approaches at their disposal, they’ll take giant leaps in learning skills to create a business, work on a startup team, and connect with the right people and resources. Ultimately, it will be an unforgettable weekend that will put them on the pathway to success.
All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: On Friday, anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote); and then it’s a 54-hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekend culminates on Sunday with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.
