Hello everyone,
We were excited to hear some of you have been participating in case competitions. Here is another opportunity to extend your network at UBC by working on a weekend-long case competition to help launch technologies developed right here on campus!
Reboot Startup Weekend is a unique business competition that reinvigorates previously developed, promising technologies that currently lack an economic business case. UBC graduate business students develop business cases for these previously ‘orphaned’ technologies developed by UBC researchers. You will receive coaching from prominent Vancouver entrepreneurs and MBA alumni prior to presenting in front of the judges.
Participants have 72 hours over one weekend to learn about a new technology, develop a practical business use case for the technology, and pitch their plan to a panel of judges. The top team will receive a cash prize, and the winner takes home the coveted Reboot swag! This competition allows students to apply concepts learned in the classroom to a real technology, to learn how to quickly work with a cross-disciplinary team, and to experience a condensed version of the work it takes to build and promote a business plan.
Reboot Startup Weekend will take place on Friday, November 3rd to Sunday, November 5th, 2017. A detailed schedule will be provided closer to the time.
Ticket sales will remain open until November 1st, 2017 and can be purchased via Eventbrite. For more information and to check out our sponsors, judges and mentors visit this website: http://rebootstartupweekend.squarespace.com/
Have a great weekend!
Clement
