Startup MV

In Startup MV, you form a team of of 3 to 9 other students to build a company and solve a prevalent problem in our community. Each week, every team will give updates on how their startup is going and ask questions to mentors. In addition, short lessons will be taught to accelerate your understanding of creating a startup successfully. With a number of competitions to compete in throughout the year, there are great opportunities for your company to win seed funding and gain recognition. 

This year, there are two returning companies that will serve as mentors for companies that are formed this year. 

Expect to dedicate a few hours to startup every week, especially near competition deadlines!
