Orphaned Technology Start-up Weekend

OTSW Early Bird Extended!!

Considering that students are currently under a lot of exam stress and pressure, the OTSW committee has extended early bird pricing until Friday, October 10th.  Register today @ www.otsw.ca to take advantage of the low price of $30.

What is OTSW?

12 different technologies developed on UBC campus have been collected and made available for UBC students.  These technologies are waiting to be commercialized by enthusiastic entrepreneurs.  Over the course of a weekend, students will be placed in teams of 6 based on common technology interests.  Teams are to formulate business plans and create pitches that will be presented to a panel of judges.  There is opportunity to use these technologies in future course work or even continue commercialization out of personal interest.
