Frequently Asked Question
A 54-hour marathon where innovators, developers, designers, and hustlers come together to pitch ideas, form teams, and turn them into working startups, all in one weekend.
Nope! You can come with an idea or join someone else’s. We need all kinds of skills, from coding and design to marketing and business strategy.
A working prototype, a new team, feedback from experienced mentors, and a network of fellow dreamers who might just be your future co-founders.
Absolutely not. Startup Weekend is for anyone who wants to solve problems, build something new, and learn how startups are created, whether you code, design, write, sell, or just think big.
Because in 54 hours, you’ll gain hands-on experience, meet incredible people, and maybe even start the next big thing in Nairobi’s startup scene.
