<aside> 🚀 Hey! Welcome to UpStart!

To get you started, here’s a guide on everything you need to know!

Over the weekend, you will work as a team of 3 or 4 to create and develop your own project into a “business”. Come up with your idea, create your prototype, build your business plan and pitch it to a panel of experienced judges 💥

It’s important to know that the goal here is not to build something perfect or complete - the judges know how fast a weekend goes by. Instead, we want you to take advantage of the invaluable learning opportunities to hone your leadership and communication skills by “building” your own project from scratch.
