创业周末成功案例：

全球最大宠物照顾平台Rover

从创业周末活动发展至上市公司

全球最大宠物照顾平台Rover创始人Greg Gottesman于2011年参加西雅图创业周末竞赛时，因自家宠物犬在传统犬舍寄养后患病，提出了“为宠物寻找爱狗家庭寄宿”的创意，并与团队在54小时内完成商业模式设计。

Rover成立后迅速扩展，通过平台将宠物主人与认证宠物保姆匹配，提供寄宿、遛狗、日托等服务，并建立保险制度和紧急支援体系。2017年，Rover以股票并购竞争对手DogVacay，合并后年营收达1.5亿美元，市值约3亿美元，并计划在2018年上市。

创业周末国内活动成功案例：脸萌

脸萌是2014年由90后团队开发的卡通头像生成应用，其成功与创业周末活动密切相关。创始人郭列在2014年创业周末中首次组队尝试开发有声表情应用，虽未成功，但结识了合作伙伴和投资人，为后续脸萌的诞生奠定基础。

该应用允许用户通过选择发型、五官、服装等元素快速生成个性化卡通头像，凭借超萌画风和社交分享功能迅速走红。2014年端午节前后，脸萌在微信、微博等平台引发刷屏，下载量突破2000万，登顶全球多国应用商店榜单。团队由9名90后组成，包括曾在腾讯担任产品经理的郭列，成员利用业余时间开发，初期成本极低，仅靠技术实力和用户需求洞察获得IDG资本千万级投资。

Techstars Startup Weekends are 54-hour events designed to provide superior experiential education for technical and non-technical entrepreneurs. Beginning with Friday night pitches, the event continues through brainstorming, business plan development, and basic prototype creation, culminating in Sunday night demos and presentations.

Participants create working startups during the event and are able to collaborate with like-minded individuals outside of their daily networks. All teams hear talks by industry leaders and receive valuable feedback from local entrepreneurs. The weekend is centered around action, innovation, and education.

Whether you are looking for feedback on an idea, a co-founder, specific skill sets, or a team to help you execute, Techstars Startup Weekends are the perfect environment in which to test your idea and take the first steps towards launching your own startup.

Is this event for me?

If you are interested in entrepreneurship the answer is most likely yes. Whether you are a serial entrepreneur or new to the startup scene, you'll fit right in as long as you are motivated to build a product or startup and open to new ideas. We believe that great ideas can come from anywhere.

The event is intended to be a collaborative and inclusive forum for sharing, learning, building,

and having fun. We expect each member of the startup community to be inclusive of all people and their ideas at Techstars Startup Weekend and we welcome all, regardless of experience, industry or background.

Do I have to participate in all three days?

Apart from the organizing team, mentors, speakers, event volunteers and judges, everyone who participates in the event is expected to participate in all three days. This is important not only to preserve your own learning experience, but also to minimize distractions or disruptions for the team you choose to join. We welcome any friends, family or colleagues you would like to invite to watch your final presentation to see all you have accomplished in just one weekend. Please check the registration page of your city's website or reach out to the event organizer for availability.

Do I need a team?

Everyone who attends the event as an attendee is expected to come to the event without a team and then join and participate on a team at the event. This is important to preserve the Techstars Startup Weekend educational experience. The ideal team consists of members with diverse backgrounds and experience who share knowledge to build a great minimum viable product (MVP) using the Lean Canvas. The more people you have on your team to help you do market research and business model development, the quicker you'll develop an MVP to pitch on Sunday.
