The College Startup Bootcamp is an opportunity to dive into the entrepreneurship scene at

UChicago, make new friends, and learn practical skills for starting a startup. You’ll learn about good and bad reasons to launch a startup (spoiler: it’s not as glamorous as The Social Network makes it seem), what makes a good startup idea, and how to get them. Much of the day will be hands-on team activities to generate ideas, test assumptions, and get started talking to users. A panel of

UChicago College alumni entrepreneurs will discuss their experience, and each team will have a

chance to pitch your idea for prizes!
