Week of Nov.9 – Nov.16, 2017
Congratulations Karan!
Karan and four fellow MBA students won first place this past weekend at UBC’s Reboot Startup Weekend. Reboot Startup Weekend is a unique business competition for UBC Masters students who develop business cases for previously ‘orphaned’ technologies and pitch their plan to a panel of judges.
Here’s what Karan had to say about the weekend, “Reboot startup weekend rebooted my entrepreneurial aspirations, from knowing nothing about a technology to transforming it into a viable business and pitching it in front of real investors and entrepreneurs was a worthwhile experience. Winning it takes it to another level!”
