Frequently Asked Questions

I have an idea for a Startup, can I pitch it at this event?
Maybe! If your idea is something that you haven’t started building, ABSOLUTELY! To ensure all teams start on an even playing field, your idea must only exist in your head (no physical work allowed prior to the games).

Will there be food?
Yes! Your ticket price includes all the food, beer and coffee you could need for the weekend.

A 54-hour event?! Do I have to stay the whole time?
No, you can come and go as you please, but we do suggest you clear your schedule for the weekend. You’re likely to find you won’t want to leave! Most participants do head home Friday and Saturday night to sleep, but you’re welcome to pull all-nighters as well – the arena will be open for the full event.

What startups or business ideas will be built over the weekend?
It’s audience choice! As part of the opening ceremonies, anyone who wants to pitch an idea is given 60 seconds to pitch. After all the pitches are made, the audience will vote on the ideas they like the best! The top voted ideas will move on to compete over the weekend. Participants will then choose which idea they would like to help build during the event.

I'm not interested in starting a Startup, is this event still for me?

This event is for ANYONE! That’s one of the best parts of the Startup Games. Whether you’re a founder, a developer, a designer, or just looking for a fun experience over the weekend, The Startup Games are for you.

What do you win?
Bragging rights go along way in this town! If you win, you’ll be officially crowned Victor. Other prizes TBA.
