About the event
RampUp Weekend is North Forge’s 50-hour startup sprint for aspiring entrepreneurs, innovators, and builders ready to take an idea from concept to action.
Participants will pitch ideas, form teams, build MVPs, and test what it takes to launch, all with support from mentors and access to North Forge resources.
What’s new for 2026
Founders who want to pitch must submit a 1-minute video pitch and purchase a $10 Pitch Ticket. From there, 30 ideas will be selected to pitch live on Friday night, and the audience will vote for the 10 ideas that move forward into the weekend.
