Hey guys, I’m looking at the Techstars Startup Weekend ad and trying to figure out if we’re the right audience for it. My startup has an MVP & traction. I see a whole bunch of information on their event page on how it can be useful yet I wonder if we’re the right audience. Is it best for us or someone who only wants to get started & doesn’t know how? Is it just a quick way for Techstars to make money off their name? Are they scouting any startups for the accelerator there?

Would love to hear thoughts & feedback from someone who attended before.

    I’m not familiar with Startup Weekend, but considering they’re actively recruiting startups for their programs, it’s most likely for scouting purposes.

    With that said, they do work with programs of all sizes, even pre-revenue. If you’re looking for funding, it’s worth a shot to attend and meet some connects there that can vouch for you if you apply to one of their programs.

    Check out their rising stars program if you or your co-founder meets their requirements for “underrepresented founders”. Seeing that you have an MVP and traction, you’re ahead of probably 99% of applicants.
