Startup Weekend history

Startup Weekend is a hackathon-like event started back in 2007 in Boulder, Colorado, USA. As of December 2016, it has reached 135 countries, involving over 210,000 entrepreneurs. Upon its 2015 acquisition from Techstars, Startup Weekend, alongside Startup Week and StartupDigest, became part of the Techstars family of startup programs.
