Have an idea? Don’t wait. Go for it.

Bring your ideas, your skis or snowboard and launch an idea in one weekend. We’ll start with opening day of ski season on Friday, Nov. 11 in the morning – and will host an optional skiing/snowboarding meetup. Then we’ll gather on Friday night, Nov. 11, to officially launch Startup Weekend Breck. Pitch an idea or listen to pitches, vote and then we’ll form teams, eat, drink and be merry. Teams will work Friday night, all day and night Saturday until the final team pitches on Sunday before the panel of judges. 

Startup Weekend is your opportunity to get support, join a team, focus and learn about entrepreneurship and launching a business. It’s a 54-hour startup “crash course” with lots of fun and support. 

Rocky Mountain Patent founder Jeff Schell will be a judge for the pitching competition at Breckenridge Startup Weekend, where startups and entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to present their ideas to an audience for feedback.
