Our partner, Techstars Startup Weekend, is hosting a Silicon Valley 2019 Social Impact Edition series. They plan to explore what it means to be building a startup in Silicon Valley with the pursuit of social impact alongside financial goals. Over the course of the weekend you'll be challenged to create a prototype of your MVP, or minimum viable product, that fits the needs of your target customer. You'll get feedback, iterate, and likely pivot your approach entirely!
