What Will This Event Be Like?
WSU I-Corps, Entrepreneurial Faculty Ambassadors, Center For Entrepreneurial Studies, Frank Entrepreneurship Institute, and Office of Research will talk BRIEFLY about opportunities available through their programs.
Innovators from across campus will give 1-Minute Pitches about their goals for making an impact, describing:
- Their idea
- The current state of development
- What they would like to accomplish (make a prototype, form a startup, win business plan competition, partner with industry, etc…)
- What they need/are looking for (other than money) to succeed
Roughly 15 pitches will be given, and there will be ample time (and food provided) to network and partner among the “Pitchers” and the audience around the ideas discussed.
