It all starts with an idea.

Discover what it takes to make your ideas a business reality in a series of fun, hands-on weekend sessions. Work with veteran business leaders and build a business model you can put into action TODAY. Pitch your idea to a panel of entrepreneurs and compete against your peers to win money (over $2,200 in prize money to give away!) to help you start your new enterprise.
