Startup Weekend Women is a special edition of Startup Weekend held as part of
Techstars’ global International Women’s Day initiative.
This 3-day experience brings people together to form teams, build startups, and develop ideas designed to support and empower women across industries and communities.
Behind the scenes, it takes a thoughtful, committed group of volunteers to make the experience welcoming, accessible, and well-run.
We are looking for volunteers who want to:
Support founders and first-time entrepreneurs
Help create an inclusive, supportive event environment
Contribute to a mission-driven Startup Weekend
Be part of an event that aligns with International Women’s Day values
