2 years in the making.
Nearly 23 months.
Hundreds of volunteers.
Thousands of hours.
Buckets of blood, sweat, tears and codes.
Running a full-fledge hackathon on a truly global scale is a monumental task.
It started back in Jan 2020 when Covid struck and the world was thrown into a tailspin.
Startup Weekend, which was traditionally always done physically, had to be moved into the metaverse.
We had to pivot into the digital world.
Afraid and uncertain, we did just that.
All our pain, smiles, laughter, hard work, misery, virtual calls and attending to the smallest details.
It comes full circle in Nov 2021.
This is it.
People, friends, hackers, dreamers, builders, coders, entrepreneurs and astronauts from every part of the world.
From Angola to Côte d’Ivoire, from Fiji to Liechtenstein, from Moldova to Uzbekistan.
Unite.
Cohere.
Aspire.
There is no better time to be part of one the largest hackathon and startup movement in history.
This is the proudest moment for any Startup Weekend Volunteer, Organiser, participant, judge, mentor, guest, speaker or spectator.
Everyone who has been a part of Startup Weekend all around the globe.
You have been a special part of Startup Weekend Global.
Every passionate participant is a silent supporter.
Every idea shared is a brick laid upon the foundations on which others will grow and prosper from.
Every soul brave enough to join and participate, is a champion rebirthed into the startup ecosystem.
Every pitch we hear on stage is a step up the ladder of entrepreneurial sainthood.
This is the cumulation of years of raw willpower, dedication and vision.
The vision was to inspire, excite and motivate anyone, anywhere to start something.
Startup Weekend was never about building a unicorn startup, raising funds or curing cancer (if you could, that be awesome).
It was just about starting something you always wanted.
Taking that small hop towards your passion.
Turning that hop into a leap of faith.
And that leap of faith will bring you down the rabbit hole.
Where a world of possibilities awaits you.
