Spelpreneur 10-Day

Startup Competition

Overview

In this 10-day program, students will build the foundation necessary to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. All students are welcome to participate, but students who are currently in the ideation stage of their business are strongly encouraged to participate. The program will focus on three pillars:


  1. The Vision - This stage allows students to focus on building out the overall vision for the business. Students will determine a problem they wish to solve and build out user profiles, mission statements, and OKRs

  2. The Execution - This stage will focus on planning out the tangible steps necessary to bring their ideas to reality. At the end of this stage, students should have a technical design doc and a business plan put together. 

  3. The Storytelling - This stage takes all that was created in the first two stages and helps the students create a narrative for their business. At the end of this stage, students will have pitch decks created and will have to present in front of a panel of judges.
