Can I bring a project I've already been working on?
Absolutely! In fact, due to the difficulty of developing a product from scratch in a single day, we'd prefer that you bring a product with you.
04
What if I dont have a product to bring?
That's great! You don't need to bring a product to participate, but before you come, give some thought to what product you'd like to build at the event. The more momentum you bring, the easier the process will be!

Can I bring Team Members?
Yes! The more the merrier!

Absolutely. We'll give time for product pitches and team formation first thing on Day 1.

Do I have to work in a team?
You can work as a team or by yourself. It's up to you!
09
Do I have to launch a crowdfunding campaign at the end of the workshop?
No, you don't. We help you get to the point that you could, but you can still choose whether or not to launch. If you do launch within two weeks of the event we will feature your project.
