Frequently asked questions

What is the refund policy?

You can request full refund upto 10 days before the event. During that time window refunds are issued automatically on the eventbrite platform. After refund window has closed, we will issue a credit/new ticket towards next Tech Weekend.

What if I can't attend the event will I get refund for no show?

Should you find yourself unable to attend after the refund window has closed, we will issue you a credit equivalent to the value of your ticket. Flexibility: This credit can be used by you for a ticket to the next Tech Weekend or shared with another founder to attend in your place.

How will Identify VCs?

Look out for the badges! Founders will be wearing black-and-white badges, while VCs will be easily identifiable by their red badges.

Should I attend Tech Weekend if I am a non Technical Founder?

Absolutely! Tech Weekend’s strength lies in its diversity—founders aged 30-55 from 6 U.S. states and 3 countries, both technical and non tech, bring a wealth of experience & fresh perspectives. Discover new strategies for marketing, scaling, and distribution in a globally enriching environment.
