Inspiring More Women Leaders in Founding Startup Teams

Techstars Startup Weekend Women APAC is a series of techstars startup weekends held across cities in asia pacific - during the month of september - focused on engaging and celebrating women + diversity + inclusion in local communities.

#swwomenapac wants to continue efforts in cultivating a wholly inclusive community. A key component of that vision is empowering women to pursue their dreams and build tools that change the world. Having a diversity of perspectives and ideas leads to better experiences, more relevant outputs, better leaders, and makes the community much more interesting! We believe that by creating the right environments, programs and initiatives, women in tech (alongside their larger community) are better positioned to drive transformational change in their community and beyond. We want to embody a culture that does not make women feel like they have to prove themselves, and support women in finding a new level of confidence in their abilities to succeed.

The hardest part of starting up is starting out, Startup Weekend targets exactly this by immersing participants in the ideal environment for startup magic to happen. Our goal is to encourage and inspire more female leaders in startup teams and to connect more women to the vast number of resources and mentors available in our startup community. That's why we want you to be of this weekend and join some of the most talented and entrepreneurial-minded women across our community.

Are men allowed to attend? YES, MEN ARE INVITED! However, there are a limited number of tickets available to men and we do encourage men to find another female participant to bring along.

AS AN ADDED BONUS: The winning team and 2-3 community leaders from each participating city will be invited to join us in Bali, Indonesia for the #swwomenapac finals + demo day! There will be amazing speakers, programming and prizes for both
