How does it work?

Have an idea you know needs to come to life in the world? Or a challenge you or your community wants to solve? Learn how to think, work, and build like a startup in 54 thrilling hours. Startup Weekend Tauranga is back after 4 years with an exciting and immersive foray into the world of startups and community initiatives. Over an action-packed three days, you’ll meet the very best mentors and co-founders of business and community initiatives to show you how to get more done faster -- and, maybe even start that business.

NB: your project idea must not already have statuses, generated turnover, communication already set up, etc. You may have already worked on it a little but the idea is to (almost) start from scratch. And, you must be accepting of the opinion of the other members of your team to evolve your idea.
