For fun or profit

The event has resulted in real startups spinning out of the event (check Scoop and Safepoint). We love it when real startups are created, but the biggest impacts are in learning, networking and growing. Whether you are a professional expert marketeer, software engineer, designer, an ideas person, a student or someone who likes to help out whether they can, there is a place for you. Together with your own new team and our mentors, you will get to experience all facets of building a startup. From value proposition, market research, business strategy, go to market, building your app/website/bot and pitching.
