🚨 Tampa Bay, it’s happening AGAIN.

BŪP Innovation Weekend is back. November 6 - 8.

3 Days. One idea to a real company.

In April, 30 first-time founders and builders walked into South University Tampa with nothing but an idea. Here’s where they are now:

✅ 6 teams formed, and 100% are still building
✅ 3 landed their first paying customers within two weeks
✅ Founders came from 15 cities, 2 states, and 2 countries

And the room they built in? Last weekend brought representation and support from City of Tampa, Google, Harvard University, Lovable, NFL Alumni, and TIE Tampa Bay. 

This is not an event you want to miss.

This is what happens when founders finally get the room, the mentors, and the tools to actually build.

What you step into:

🛠️ 3 days of building, start to finish
🤖 AI app-building workshops (build your app with AI, no code required)
🎤 Live pitch competition with prizes
🤝 15+ mentors in the room with you
🌱 A community that keeps showing up long after the weekend ends

No co-founder required. No technical background required. Bring an idea and a weekend.

 📅 November 6 to 8, 2026

➡️ Founders - Claim your spot: bupinno.org/weekend

The best solutions for Tampa Bay come from Tampa Bay. Let’s build.
