3 Day Startup Austin

3 Day Startup is an international non-profit organization that teaches university students how to start a company over the course of a weekend.

3DS Austin is the local program. Over the weekend, students form teams, develop an idea, conduct market research, talk to customers, create a prototype, and pitch to real investors by Sunday night. Students get to collaborate with talented peers from different backgrounds and get mentored by successful Austin entrepreneurs.

The event is free for participants, open to all majors, and we’ll even provide food for all three days.

The Spring 3DS Austin program will take place April 8-10. If you’re interested in participating or learning more, please visit austin.3daystartup.org to apply by March 13.
