What we’re about
You've learned a lot. You have learned to use Figma and the concepts behind making an application beautiful. Whether its understanding a smooth onboarding process or analyzing what features fit into an MVP, you have mastered or are on your way to mastering the craft.
But the thing about design is you have to apply it. Use it or lose it. Expand or contract.
Here at the global UX & Design Community, we provide opportunities to apply these skills to interesting projects. These projects are actually business ideas created by non-tech entrepreneurs. so, whether you just need some more experience or are interested in becoming a co-founder, there are teammates waiting for you!
At the meetup, you can help work on someone's idea or interact with the organizers as we work on one. If you find a co-founder or just someone to work on something with, you can get started developing while your teammate fleshes out the market strategy, etc.
How easy can it be for you to fall into the next wave of tech entrepreneurs? Just show up!

## Details
Welcome to Startup Oasis!
If you are a developer, UX designer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to join or help a tech startup, or even just get involved in a project, this event is for you!What happens first in the event is startup founders pitch their business or idea to the audience, which is full of the developers, designers, marketers, etc.
If you are interested in one of the projects / startups, you can join one of the founders in a breakout room to continue building, workshopping, and/or onboarding the startup with attendees.
This is a brand-new type of structure that has never existed before, and there is so much direct value for all parties. Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business. See our overview video for more info!
Agenda:
- Introductions: during the first 10 minutes, we will give you the history, structure, and future plans of Startup Oasis and open signups for founders that want to pitch their startups.
- Pitches: each founder will then get up to 3 minutes to pitch their startup. This format is recommended: name, business, the problem, your solution, target customer base, and your biggest challenge/current need. This part is similar to Shark Tank.
- Breakouts: for the remainder of the event, each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk to the founders in greater detail their about their needs and challenges in a small group setting. This part is similar to a hackathon.

- Attendees - If you are new to startups and tech, feel free to just watch with no pressure to participate. If you are looking to join a startup or find a side project, make sure you take notes during the pitches to join the group of the founder that you're most interested in helping. Most founders need help with either developing the product or with a go-to-market strategy.
