UC San Diego Horizon x Techstars Startup Weekend: Justice + AI

UC San Diego's Design and Innovation Building hosts Techstars Startup Weekend San Diego, bringing builders, designers, lawyers, and the legally curious together for a weekend focused squarely on legal tech, software, and innovation. The theme: reimagining law for the AI era. The legal industry touches nearly everyone and has changed less than almost any other sector in the last few decades — this weekend is about building the tools that could finally change that, from AI that helps a tenant fight an eviction to software that lets a small business draft a contract without a $400-an-hour phone call.

Around 100 participants will pitch ideas, form teams around the strongest ones, and spend the weekend building toward a final pitch to a panel of judges. Mentors and coaches work alongside teams throughout, helping them get out of the building to validate ideas with real users, sharpen product direction, and prepare a polished final pitch.
