The weekend is part zen, part rock concert, and 100% fun! It starts Thursday night at 6pm and ends Saturday at 9pm, the hours in between are up to the attendees. KickStartz provides facilities, food, and a T-shirt. After that, it's really up to the attendees, their drive and ambition to get things done.
KickStartz Weekend
The team members working on the products will work together through the business plans, financing, marketing, and legal aspects, etc during the weekend.
Once the weekend ends, the attendees will walk away with a number of new friends and contacts. In addition, the teams should continue working together on the business ideas and make them successful.
