Techstars Startup Weekend

💭 What can you build in 54 hours?

At Techstars Startup Weekend University of Kansas, participants will pitch ideas, form teams, validate problems, build prototypes, learn from mentors, and present new ventures to a panel of judges - all in one weekend.

You do not need to arrive with a company, a team, or startup experience. You can join with an idea, a side project, a skill, or simple curiosity about entrepreneurship.

📅 November 13-15, 2026

Because ideas move faster when you have the right people around you.

In just one weekend, you’ll:

💡 Turn ideas into something tangible
🤝 Meet potential teammates and collaborators
🧪 Test your assumptions with real feedback
🛠️ Learn practical startup skills by doing
🚀 Leave with more clarity, confidence, and community

And Startup Weekend KU isn’t just for “startup people.”

It’s for the researcher with a breakthrough, the designer who wants to solve real problems, the developer ready to build, the marketer who understands customers—and the curious student eager to try something new.

No idea? No team? No experience? 𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. You’re invited.

Bring an idea or come ready to help build someone else’s. Either way, come ready to create.
