OUR MISSION AND PROGRAM

Startup Camp Youth Tbilisi 2019

WHAT IS STARTUP CAMP?

• Startup Camp is a 54-hour weekend event, during which groups of developers, business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic artists and more pitch ideas for new startup companies, form teams around those ideas, and work to develop a working prototype, demo, or presentation by Sunday evening. If you are interested in entrepreneurship, this event is for you. Whether you are a serial entrepreneur or new to the startup scene, if you motivated to build a product or startup and open to new ideas, you’ll fit right in. It is not necessary to pitch an idea to attend, but we encourage you to! You can pitch an idea you've been thinking about for years or something last minute you think of during the event. It's a great experience and invaluable practice for public speaking. 

• Your idea should be something you have not previously worked on. The idea you pitch and the problem you set out to solve can span social, educational, financial, environmental, or other issues. Over the course of
  You'll pitch your idea or listen to others, then vote on the most interesting ideas and form teams with diverse skill sets. You can come with friends, but you’ll get the full experience if you participate in separate teams. Remember, it’s all about the team. During the weekend, you'll be challenged to create a prototype of your MVP, or minimum viable product, that fits the needs of your target customer. You'll get feedback, iterate, and likely pivot your approach entirely! Important: You cannot have worked previously on your idea.
