Startup Weekend is an intense 54 hour event which focuses on building a web or mobile application which could form the basis of a credible business over the course of a weekend. The weekend brings together people with different skillsets - primarily software developers, graphics designers and business people - to build applications and develop a commercial case around them.

Winners and winners

What a weekend at FEI STU in Bratislava! Over 130 people gathered to share their skills in the name of working on a project that might have a success potential and an ambition to win the StartupWeekend Bratislava 2. 

There were 36 ideas pitched on friday. After the voting 14 teams were created to work together on their ideas to transform them into functional applications, web sites or prototypes. Hard working on saturday followed by speakers with their speeches and mentors that help attendees form the idea culminated on sunday into stressful preparation for the final pitches.

Who`s got the best presentation? Using Instant Feedback tool implemented as a QR code into teams presentations the audience has decided. The judges and mentors also picked their “number ones”. Matej Ftáčnik as a facilitator annuciated the results:

1. Instant Feedback as a feedback demanded tool to rate the presentations/audience prize.
2. TimeZoner shows you the (event) times according to your location.
3. Blame it on the Fish - ask the fish whatever you need to decide about.
4. PartySmasher – show them, you`re at the party, too! – special prize from The Spot.

When awesome (yay, awesome!) people meet, it must be an awesome event!

Thanks to attendees that join us on our event, thanks to judges & mentors that helped the teams by improving their ideas, thanks to our sponsors, thanks to our great volunteers. Thank you all!
