Calling all hackers, hipsters, and hustlers for a crazy 54-hour event in Cebu City -- share ideas, form teams, build your product, launch it
Startup Weekend Cebu began at the University of the Philippines Cebu (UP Cebu) in May 2012 and generated over 250 attendees comprised of technopreneurs, mentors and judges. At the end of it all, 3 startup business ideas were declared winners and go into development, testing and market validation of their business ideas. Startup Weekend Cebu then turned into an annual get together for aspiring technopreneurs to present their ideas and look for early stage seed funders for their ideas. So many bright and wonderful business ideas have come out of Startup Weekend.
This year’s Startup Weekend 5 will be this coming June 5 -7 and will be held at UP Cebu, where it all began, timed perfectly after the ICT-BPO conference that kicks of Cebu Business Month.
