Skill Garden is a prime example of what can come out of Okanagan Startup Weekend.
The idea for the platform, which matches novices looking to learn new skills with mentors who want to teach, was one of the winners of the 2017 event that is held annually for those looking to get a business idea off the ground.
This year’s event goes Friday through Sunday at Kelowna’s Okanagan Innovation Centre.
“Come with an open mind,” said Maizal Munif, a developer on the Skill Garden team. “You’ll meet some new friends, you’ll build your network, you’ll learn some new technologies, and you’ll get over your fears. It’s just great.”
The premise is simple.
Developers, designers, entrepreneurs and anyone with an idea will assemble at the Innovation Centre on Friday night and spend the next 54 hours creating a prototype, validating their idea and receiving feedback from experienced entrepreneurs.
The best ideas will then be singled out on Sunday night.
