Startup HSS 2016

About the event:

Everyone has an idea, something about the world around them they think they can change for the better. At Startup HSS, you will be given two days to pitch your idea, gather teammates, and work hard in an effort to turn your dream into a reality. At the end of the two days, you will present your business plan and marketing presentation to your peers and end the event with a party! We believe that students deserve an opportunity to start their own business. Startup HSS 2016 is their first opportunity to take an idea and work with mentors and judges to successfully build their own startup.
