SummerUP – One Week of Non-Stop Building and Selling | Sell before you Build
Sell before you build – Turn your idea into a working MVP with your first paying Customers in just one week!
Go from raw idea to a working MVP with real paying customers in a single week, then pitch it live to hundreds of founders & investors on The Delta Stage.
SummerUP flips the script on every hackathon you've done. It's built for people who can actually ship - developers, designers, and operators who'd rather validate fast and close their first customers than polish another idea-stage deck. Come solo or bring your crew. We bring the mentors, the campus, and the playbook; you bring the ambition to walk away with traction, not just another prototype.
