Thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors who continually invest their time, energy, and capital into Missouri Startup Weekend.

🏁 Thursday 4/10: Pre-Party Happenings!

Getting into town early or just local? Come spend Thursday evening with us at Logboat for the MOSW pre-launch party! Come network with fellow builders and potential team members, plus the 1st drink is on us!

💫 Friday 4/11: Present your ideas and start building!

MOSW kicks off the weekend with quick pitches from participants. These pitches will be 1 min long and are for new startup ideas (no pre-existing companies)! Ideas will be voted on, the top 10 will be selected (5 via community voting and 5 by judges), and teams will be formed. No worries if you don’t have an idea; you’ll be able to join a team and help validate the idea throughout the weekend.

⚙️ Saturday 4/12: Build away with Mentor Sessions & Programming!

Spend Saturday validating the problem, building a solution, and creating a business plan/pitch. We’ll have curated mentor sessions for you to lean on those who have built before and workshops led by VCs, Marketers, entrepreneurs, and Lawyers to help you navigate the ins and outs.

🏆 Sunday 4/13: The Final Pitch & After Party!

It’s the final day of MOSW! The teams will present what they’ve been building over the weekend to our panel of rockstar judges. The winner of MOSW 2025 will receive $45k in prizes, the potential for up to a $150k investment from Redbud VC, 6 months of pre-launch support and more! Join us for the afterparty at the Redbud VC office rooftop!
