Startup Weekend Presented by Open Range x Techstars
What could you build in a weekend?
You don’t need a startup. You just need to show up.
Startup Weekend, powered by Open Range and Techstars Omaha, is a 48-hour experience where you’ll pitch ideas, form teams, and build something real alongside a room full of curious, motivated people.
Some will come with ideas. Others will come to help build them. Either way, everyone starts from scratch.
What you’ll do:
Pitch ideas
Join a team
Build and test something real
Present what you created
Who should come:
Founders and aspiring founders
Designers, developers, marketers
Students and career switchers
Anyone curious about building something
No idea? You’re still welcome. No team? You’ll find one.
What you’ll get:
48 hours of hands-on building
Mentorship and guidance
A chance to meet collaborators and co-founders
Meals, coffee, workspace, and WiFi
Swag
At the end of the weekend
Teams will present what they’ve built, and one team will receive:
Non-dilutive cash + potential investment opportunities
In-kind services to grow the business
PR through media and partner platforms
Participants must be 18 years or older at the time of the event start. All ticket sales are final. No refunds.
