🚀Ready to ignite your startup ideas? Join us for an open startup weekend at Startup Moldova! 💡
Startup Moldova is pleased to invite you to our next event, taking place from October 20 to October 22. Unlike our past focused events, this time we’re going broad – no specific topic. We’re opening the floor to all your bright ideas, no matter the industry or field. If you have an idea that you believe in, this is the place to bring it to life.
Over the course of 54 hours, you will have the opportunity to work with mentors, facilitators, and like-minded entrepreneurs from Moldova to transform your concepts into viable startups. Our goal is to bring together creative minds and foster an environment that will help turn your ideas into reality.
Whether you’re a coder, designer, marketer, technologist, entrepreneur, or just someone who wants to learn more about the startup world, we invite you to be a part of this transformative startup weekend. You’ll have the chance to pitch your ideas, form a team, build a prototype, validate your business model, and present in front of experienced judges all in one weekend.
The event is organised by Startup Moldova in partnership with Techstars and with the support of USAID Moldova, Sweden and UKAid. The event sponsor is Orange Moldova and the global sponsors are Google for Startups and GoDaddy.
