Startup Weekend Prague

23/10/2021

Due to the worsening COVID situation and potential more severe restrictions on in-person events, we are sad to announce we are postponing the upcoming Startup Weekend Prague which was scheduled to happen next weekend Oct 29-31.

The health and safety of our community is the most important factor for us and that was the ultimate motivator to proceed with this action.

Everyone who bought a ticket will be refunded their ticket price.

Liftago CEO Ondrej Kratky thinks the biggest way founding a company has influenced his life is it forced him to develop from the "idea guy" to participate in implementing those ideas.

The hardest part is often just to start. That's where Startup Weekend Prague can help--validate an idea in 1 weekend with the help of your team and mentors.

So join us 29.10.-31.10. and let's bring our ideas into the world together!

Sometimes we ask startup founders which advice they would give themselves before starting the company.
Liftago CEO Ondrej Kratky thinks there are too many individual things to improve, so it’s better to focus on principles!

Why don’t you take a chance and ask a founder for advice at the next Startup Weekend Prague on 29.-31.10.?

Another Monday and another day closer to the next Startup Weekend Prague! And what can you look forward to?
Well, Productboard co-founder and CTO Daniel Hejl met his co-founder at a Startup Weekend and the rest is history. Here are some of his findings:

❤️ young founders should fall in love with the problem they’re trying to solve. Why? The road will be tough and the solution to the problem might change over time, but what matters is you know your customers and their needs.

☺️ your most important skill as a founder will be your empathy. Your job will most likely be to hire people better than you, keep them and make space for them to thrive!

🧠 what’s an idea Daniel would like to see get developed at a Startup Weekend Prague? Anything in the mental health space!

If you’re excited about learning more from other founders, consider joining the next Startup Weekend Prague 29.10.-31.10.!
