Ian Miller asked me to pass this along: Startup Weekend Fashion Innovations is a 54-hour, hands-on experience in which aspiring entrepreneurs will compete and find out if their business idea is viable.
This event is focused on innovations within the fashion industry (a la Google Glass, Pebble watch, 3D printed acessories, algorithmic fashion trend analysis, breakthroughs in textiles, Pinterest). Participants are encouraged to think big about how to disrupt the fashion market. Startup Weekend Fashion Innovations is San Diego's first fashion-focused Startup Weekend event and will be simultaneously taking place with other Fashion Startup Weekends in Paris, Milan, London and New York. Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees bring their best business ideas and try to convince others to join their team. Over Saturday and Sunday teams focus on customer development, validating their ideas, practicing Lean Startup Methodologies and building a minimal viable product. On Sunday evening, teams demo their prototypes and receive valuable feedback from a panel of experts and investors. 5 Startup Weekend San Diego Fashion Innovations Facts 1.
