On May 19-21, the Techstars Startup Weekend Women Edition hackathon will be held in the C Space Coworking Center in Tashkent.

With the support of startups, finance, marketing, and product management professionals, the contestants will have to develop their business plans and product prototypes.

On the first day of the hackathon, participants will receive instructions on how to participate. They will pitch their startup ideas to attract the remaining participants to their team within one minute. The authors of the ten ideas that receive the most votes will form teams with the necessary participants and start working on the presented idea.

The second day of the competition will be crucial for participants: the participants will attend workshops on MVP and hypothesis testing, and after the lectures, they will test their ideas and create prototypes. The teams will also work alongside startup industry experts who share their expertise and guide teams.

On the third and final day of the event, the teams present their ideas to the judges. The judges will evaluate the teams based on three criteria: Best Hypothesis Test, Best Business Model, and Best Market Potential. The top three startups with the highest scores in all requirements will be rewarded with prizes.
