Cultivator's 24hr Startup
Have an idea you've been sitting on? Got a team ready to help you make it happen in just 24 hours? 24 Hour Startup might just be for you!
GATE's partner, the Cultivator powered by Conexus Credit Union, is bringing together Saskatchewan's future entrepreneurs, business leaders, developers and technical experts, designers, and marketing gurus together. The 24 Hour Startup is an event that allows these groups to come together and build something!
What: 24 Hour Startup brings together the best and brightest entrepreneurs, developers, lead designers, and makers from across Saskatchewan, Canada, and North America, to pitch ideas, form teams, and build a minimum viable product (MVP) in 24 hours. Once the 24 hour clock runs out, teams will pitch their MVP to a panel of judges for a chance to win prizes!
Who: This event is designed to connect the startup dream team of entrepreneurs, business professionals, developers and tech gurus, and design and marketing all-stars.
As a participant, you’ll experience the rollercoaster of highs and lows that are part of everyday startup life, all in just 24 hours. As you work to build an innovative startup company, you’ll meet some of the world’s top mentors, entrepreneurs, and supporters who are ready to help you launch.
Where: Cultivator Headquarters
2375 College Ave, Regina, SK
Why: Less talk about entrepreneurship and more about doing. Take action and test the waters by jumping into a hands-on startup experience. Connect with other motivated individuals from a variety of backgrounds, access expert mentors, and have the opportunity to win prizes while expanding your network.
