Shanghai hosted an English edition of Startup Weekend on September 9th, 10th and 11th.

What is Startup Weekend?

Founded in the US, Startup Weekend is a non-for-profit organization promoting entrepreneurship.

Startup weekend events consist of gathering people and making them focus on an idea, so they can strive to transform it into a credible business.

Nearly 300 startup weekends have been organized over the world since 2007, leading to create more than 2,400 start-ups.

Shanghai Startup Weekend

During 54 hours, more than 40 candidates coming from several countries, including China, US, France, met in Shanghai to develop a commercial case. All had something to bring to their team, for example, some were specialized in web development, graphic design, SEO, or SEM.

Shanghai Startup Weekend prized two teams: Taximate, a mobile application used to share a taxi with people nearby, and Fakespotting, a website enabling users to share photos and opinions about possible fake products.

This Startup Weekend was the first English edition held in Shanghai. A Chinese edition took place in July, and another will follow from November 18th to 20th.
