In San Diego we are an all-volunteer group of local entrepreneurs dedicated to helping our peers turn ideas
into reality. Sponsoring a Startup Weekend is one of the best ways to support the San Diego ecosystem
while engaging early stage businesses. Whether they’re developers, designers, or business focused,
attendees build close relationships with the companies that sponsor. So far we’ve helped over 1,000 local
entrepreneurs pursue their dreams.
Why Sponsor Startup Weekend San Diego?
Sponsoring Provides:
• An immersive weekend to engage with entrepreneurs and
users (great for market research and user testing).
• A channel to hire and find new employees.
• Exposure and marketing to early stage companies and
entrepreneurs.
• A platform to share API’s or relevant tools for new products
and startups.
