Within two days, we bring together students, job seekers, creators, dreamers, and future founders to learn the right tools and methods to start building.
You don鈥檛 need the perfect idea; you don't need a business degree; you don't need founder experience! Just bring your curiosity and energy. Meet ambitious people, share your ideas and get s*** done.
What is 100STARTUPS?
100STARTUPS is designed to turn ideas into action. We bring together all bold, creative minds that dare to build their ideas now.
Through hands-on masterclasses and expert guidance, participants will validate ideas, form teams, test business concepts, and build the foundations of new startups together. You don鈥檛 need experience, funding, or the 鈥減erfect鈥 idea, just the courage to start.
We aim to validate 100 concepts throughout pre-event training sessions and workshops and the in-person two-day main event.
