How does the event work?
Business ideas are presented Friday night, and participants and attendees vote on their favorites to continue. After the ideas are picked, teams form and ideas are worked on throughout the weekend. On Sunday teams present their new businesses and a working prototype in front of a panel of judges. The event also includes talks, this year from Yulun Wang, Chairman, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at InTouch Health and Andreas Forsland, Founder and CEO of Cognixion, a company whose initial product SmartStones was created at Startup Weekend Santa Barbara in 2014.
