Hack ... "With the word Hacker, you might imagine some bad guys intruding your computers. However, among engineers, it means to fix something or to work on something in order for new creation."

Startup Weekend (SW) is a "start-up experience event" in order to create new business model.
In this one weekend, you will get to experience the whole process that you would face when you sail out to launch a start-up.
（From pitching your business ideas to someone, make them connected emotionally, form a team, etc. to create actual objects, acquire customers and sell your products or service. We make you challenge those things in this one weekend.）
SW begins with 1 minute business idea pitch on Friday evening. Then form teams with people declaring his/her roll as either Hustler / Hacker / Designer.
Each team prepares a UX (User Experience) featured MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and business model by Sunday evening.
Roughly explaining, a Hustler takes a roll of management and customer development, Hacker - function development, Designer features user friendly designs.
（To see more precise definitions of these 3 rolls, please check the last section of this notice - "SW FAQ" along with basic rules of SW.
Hustler - "one who measures" / Hacker - "Visualizer by making things" / Designer - "learner to apply"）
Important message from us is that with these 3 days, just the event is over. But for future entrepreneurs it is beginning of your journey. Please come and feel the vibe by yourselves! We will try hard to prepare a "stage" that will be unforgettable for you. However, what to "perform" on the stage is up to you.
We look forward to seeing you all in Manazuru!!

There is no rule in Startup Weekend. - Except ;)
(No rule is the rule.)
You are coFounders. Not employers and employees.
Who is The Idea Man? Hacker, Hustler, Designer, Anyone!
Hustler： Measure. Test the value of your visualized idea.
Measure the value of products and services, measure customer needs.
How?
Talk, "exploit" or "hustle" etc. and bring out customers' real feelings.
Feedback your measured results to your team. Sell. Experiment.
!) Hustle not with your team
but with your customers and users.
＜Note： Hustler＞
Originally as defined in dictionaries. → http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hustler
It can never be a permitted act to deceive someone for fund-raise. However, hustling is a necessary act when you intend to bring out customers' real feelings that they have not even realized by themselves.
Hacker： Visualize. Make your ide visible with any means - Hardware, Software, using Papers, anything.
Putting value aside, make something in order to visualize.
Prioritize Visualization most - visualize your hypothesis, visualize the value of your products or services.
Do start-up now and here, Don't do hackaton.
Designer： "Lerner". UX not UI. Adding values which you've found or learn out of the data from Hustler.
To where? Things your team produces: Ideas & Products.
Fine-tune the value of your products or services.
Pitch is ? Not to explain your ideas to others but to make them get connected to your ideas. Motivate them to act in order to give your idea a shape!
Pitch 1min -> 1st Discussion 10min for preparing vote -> Vote 3min -> Pitch Winners' 2nd pitch 30sec -> 2nd Discussion 15min for fixing teams.
Startup Weekend is not about winning.
SW creates not Startups but Entrepreneurs
Startup Weekend is not Hackathon.
Startup Weekend is not Event company.
