Meet the organizers & contacts ↓What it is
Not a quiz. Not a lecture. A startup.
Most students read about startups. Here you run one. You find out how work is divided, how a team decides together, and what it takes to lead a department and answer for its results.
Teams get a business challenge and shape an idea with the help of mentors. No experience needed.
Each student takes charge of one department and does that department's real work for the team.
Teams pitch live to five judges. Every student is judged on their own department, not only on the team's idea.
Launch board
Twelve hours. One startup.
