About Techstars Startup Weekend Nairobi

Techstars Startup Weekend Nairobi is where bold ideas meet relentless execution. Over an intense 54-hour sprint, entrepreneurs, designers, developers, and innovators come together to pitch ideas, form teams, and build real solutions to real problems. Whether you arrive with a fully formed concept or just the spark of an idea, you’ll find a community ready to roll up their sleeves and make things happen.

From Friday evening pitches to Sunday night demos, it’s a high-energy, hands-on experience packed with mentorship, collaboration, and rapid learning. Expect to be challenged, inspired, and maybe even a little sleep-deprived as you and your team push from concept to prototype in record time. Along the way, you’ll connect with industry mentors, network with potential co-founders, and gain insights that would normally take months to learn.

Techstars Startup Weekend Nairobi isn’t just about building a product, it’s about building you. The skills, confidence, and relationships you gain in those three days will carry far beyond the weekend. It’s an entry point into Nairobi’s vibrant startup ecosystem, a space where ideas are tested, resilience is built, and some of the region’s most exciting ventures are born.
