Launch Your Idea in Just ONE Weekend!
Are you ready for an adrenaline-packed weekend that captures the essence of startup life?
Join the Carlsen Center and StartupSac on the weekend of March 1 - 3 to bring your idea to reality!
The Startup Challenge isn’t your average weekend event; it’s a whirlwind of creativity, high-energy competition, and hands-on experience. Over the course of just three days, you’ll transform a mere idea into a real startup, guided by mentors and fueled by passion.
We begin by forming teams around brand new ideas.
Anyone’s welcome to participate — even if you don’t have an idea.
Teams have just one weekend to turn the idea into a real business, and you’ll learn how by doing it.
We have all the resources you need to succeed.
No business knowledge or special skills required.
If you’re wondering if the Startup Challenge is right for you, then it probably is!
This event is the highlight of the Sacramento startup scene, and it sold out last year. Don’t wait any longer – it’s time to shift from thinking to doing!
So what are you waiting for? It’s time to stop thinking and start doing!
