Special Guest Performance!
Special drag performance by Jada Shada Hudson! Jada Hudson is an absolute staple of the Toronto Village and the local drag scene at large; she’s a walking example of what you’d expect a truly fierce drag queen to be, both in looks and attitude. You can actually find her all over the city, featured in different kinds of events and often working with internationally known acts when they visit town, but it’s her own regular shows that really show off her personality and make you realize she’s effortlessly hilarious, even when she’s looking her most fashionable and intimidating.

Do you have an idea you’d like to pursue or a problem you’d like to solve but don’t know where to start or who to start with?
Techstars Startup Weekend is the place to look for a team, create a prototype of your idea, validate your business idea, and receive feedback from experienced entrepreneurs, all in one weekend.
What do you need to bring?
Lots of energy! You’ll pitch your own idea or listen to others, then vote on the most interesting ideas and form teams with diverse skill sets. You can come with friends, but you’ll get the full experience if you participate in separate teams. Remember, it’s all about the team.
Your idea should be something you have not previously worked on. The idea you pitch and the problem you set out to solve can span social, educational, financial, environmental, or other issues. Over the course of the weekend you’ll be challenged to create a prototype of your MVP, or minimum viable product, that fits the needs of your target customer. You’ll get feedback, iterate, and likely pivot your approach entirely! Important: You cannot have worked previously on your idea.
Techstars Startup Weekend is a full weekend long experience. Your ticket includes:
· 7 full (and delicious) meals over the course of the weekend
· Benefits and discounts from our global partners
· One-on-one time with amazing mentors
· A new network of developers, designers, and entrepreneurs eager, like you, to change the world.
