An entrepreneurship education that focuses solely on attaining VC funding may not be relevant for all members of your audience. What does an effective and inclusive entrepreneurship education look like beyond traditional startups? On Tuesday July 9th, StartupTree is hosting a transformative webinar with Katrece Boyd, Executive Director of Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED) at North Carolina Central University, on effective approaches to empower underrepresented founders and equip bright students with crucial skills to find success no matter where their future careers may lay. Key webinar insights will include: - Strategic planning & positioning: how to define and position your center's value within your university, community, and broader ecosystem. - Exploring different entrepreneurial value-adds: identifying and building programming tailored to broadening your students' future paths - Bridging the gap between education and real-world application: how to ensure your initiatives have lasting impact and relevance - Leading with impact: the journey to developing future-ready programs for your community, day by day Register today! https://lnkd.in/gPGJrdkX

The journey of NIYOU, a startup born from within an Entrepreneurship class at Creighton University's Heider College of Business, exemplifies innovation and collaboration. Two students, who had never worked together, joined forces due to their complementary skills. Just one year after their initial 60-day startup sprint, they had the chance to showcase their venture at the Big East startup competition. A special shoutout to Lance Frazier for encouraging them to participate. Their entry video is nothing short of remarkable—I'm confident they're on the path to victory. The team's early members, Valery Shafack and Matthew Mandolfo, set a high bar, which was only raised with the strategic addition of Samuel Perkinson. This is a call to local businesses: supporting NIYOU means not just backing Creighton student athletes, but also enhancing your brand. NIYOU is at the forefront of fostering meaningful partnerships between local enterprises and our student athletes. Watch the video, feel the energy, and consider how you can be part of this inspiring journey. #CreightonInnovation #StudentEntrepreneurs #NIYOUJourney #OmahaBusinessSupport #HeiderBusiness #LocalPartnerships #FutureLeaders #CommunityCollaboration #InnovateOmaha

We hope the new year 2024 has treated you well so far! How has it been for you and your loved ones as you slowly enter the rhythm of day jobs, school, and college after some, hopefully, good time to recharge? For ACF, it has been an opportunity to introspect and set our ambitious goals for this year, which involve making our community bigger and impacting with empathy. “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” ~Franklin D. Roosevelt We hope you will be a part of our journey, too. Let's do this together!

🚀 Pitch-a-Kid This Saturday🌟 Are you looking for something fun to do with the kiddos? Do you like Shark Tank with a twist? The next Pitch-a-Kid event taking place this Saturday, April 27, 2024, at 10:00 am at the University of Texas, hosted by Texas Venture Labs! We are excited to announce that Nui will be participating! 💜 📆 Get your free tickets here: https://buff.ly/3JzdWgL Pitch-a-Kid is a unique event where real entrepreneurs have the opportunity to pitch their innovative company ideas to an audience of young, sharp-minded judges—kids! 🧒💡 It's like Shark Tank, but with a twist that's both educational and fun. Here's how it works: Kids are the judges, armed with scorecards to evaluate how well entrepreneurs communicate crucial aspects of their businesses, including the business model, value proposition, market research, vision, and team. If it doesn't make sense to a kid, it probably won't make sense to anyone else! 🤔 And free parking for parents! Woohoo! The Pitch-a-Kid event will be held in Crum Auditorium at Robert Rowling Hall (RRH 1.400). The address is 300 W Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, RRH 1.400, Austin, TX 78712. Texas Venture Labs will gladly validate your parking in any UT parking garage…the nearest UT parking lots are Robert Rowling Hall and AT&T Hotel & Conference Center. Both garage entrances can be found on 20th Street between University Ave. and Guadalupe St. The Dobie garage is NOT a UT garage. We recommend planning 15 minutes to transit from the garage to the classroom, as some find the maze of elevators and hallways confusing. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to witness the future of innovation in action! 🌠 #PitchaKid #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Education #TexasVentureLabs

"There's something in the water!" At Munster High School, a grant that gave Principles of Entrepreneurship students the chance to create their own board game and market it led to ideas like "Shark Bite," created by students Galilea and Rediet. In this game, students place stickers on the board before the game begins. Land on a life preserver ring and advance two spaces. Land on a shark: shark bite! "I wanted the students to be able to create something from inception to fruition that they could actually prototype and market," MHS teacher Eric Sera said. "Rather than create a hypothetical business plan for something they might create one day, the students gained an immersive, hands-on experience that allowed them to go through the full and actual entrepreneurial process." Munster Education Foundation is proud to support innovative learning experiences like this, which led to dozens of creative board game concepts and marketing plans from Munster High School business students.

The Port Labs Startup Support Program is starting strong in 2024 with a series of workshops designed to passionate entrepreneurs from inspiration to impact, one skill at a time. We're calling this the jumpstart method, and you're invited to join us! The first ever JUMPSTART is geared towards aspiring product designers--particularly those who are getting ready to dig into a fresh idea. Register here: https://lu.ma/bvdqpw4d Kyle Valiton, our Director of Programs here at Port Labs, will be facilitating "JUMPSTART: Define the Problem." In this exercise-driven afternoon session, participants will work on connecting with the problems their customers are most desperate to solve. It's easy to get thrown off course by considering all the possible features and limitations when designing a new product. JUMPSTART: Define the Problem will provide participants with tools to get clear on *who* their core customers are and *what matters to them*. This program is free to attend in partnership with the Northern California Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration. All opinions, conclusions, or recommendations expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the SBA or HSU Sponsored Programs Foundation.
