Brampton-based startup incubator LAB B has collaborated with Google for a three-day hack-a-thon.

The 2nd Startup Weekend Peel, one of the biggest hack-a-thons in Peel, will take place Nov. 4-6 at Sheridan College (Davis Campus), B wing, 7899 McLaughlin Rd.

“The goal of hosting such events in the region is to create an environment where passionate people can come together to get things done; to learn, network, bridge the gap between trades, expose potential and see actual results,” said Harpreet Singh, co-founder, LAB B. “We engage everyone from high school innovators, corporate weekend warriors to academia and public sector.”

Last year’s event drew more than 300 enterprising individuals from technology and other sectors.

The agenda for the three-day event is: on Friday, Nov. 4 participants will form teams and come up with ideas. On Saturday, Nov. 5, they will each build a prototype of their ideas and finally on Sunday, they will pitch their finished idea to a panel of judges and investors.

Team Buggle, winners of last year’s Startup Weekend Peel, is currently building a beta version of their app for video classifieds – imagine Instagram meeting Kijiji, Singh said.

“Over an immersive 54 hours, participants will have the opportunity to meet mentors, gain exposure to new skill sets in a collaborative environment, and demonstrate leadership,” Singh said.

Startup Weekend is a grassroots movement of active community leaders and entrepreneurs coming together to learn the fundamentals involved in launching their startups and ventures, he said.

Singh will judge the event with Ash Menon, an angel investor and serial entrepreneur, Mayor Linda Jeffrey, Kulvir Gill, board chair, Seva Food Bank and others.
