STARTUP WEEKEND 2021

E-Cell DTU, for the past 12 years has been advocating the spirit of being a ‘CREATOR’ by providing the students the right guidance and mentorship from venture capitalists, angel investors, and top industrialists and striving to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem.

We attempt to foster new values amongst young individuals to make them an exemplary engineer imbibed with the idea of productive, innovative and independent thinking. We aim to create a ‘CHANGE’ with out of the box ideas and training individuals to make them the creators of this change.

Startup weekend is the place where budding entrepreneurs share their platform with like-minded people with one common goal – to launch a start-up in 54 hours. Startup Weekend resuscitates with the participants full of vigor and their exciting new ideas which they pitch in front of an esteemed panel of judges.

Networking

Startup Weekend is a great way to expand your network, know people, their ambitions, plans, ideas and most importantly aligning their interest with yours to create something extraordinary. It would be a neutral place to network with active or future members of the high-tech community.

New People

Have Fun
