You and a team of entrepreneurs will start a company over the course of three days. We provide work space, invite participants with a wide range of backgrounds, cater food, pick the best ideas for startups during the Wednesday morning brainstorming session, and pitch the business model by the end of day three. The goal is to help students learn about the process of how to start a business.
You will learn real entrepreneurship skills and get to interact with industry leading mentors. Great connections happen at Go for Launch: complementary skill sets collide, cofounders meet, and friends are made!
Ideas with scalable business models are strongly preferred. our selection criteria for ideas are (1) your amount of passion and (2) the amount of research on your own idea that you perform.
