3 Day Startup Cornell
3 Day Startup delivers intensive, hands-on entrepreneurship education programs to students at colleges and university campuses across the globe. For three days, a 3 Day Startup trained facilitator will come to your campus and guide approximately 40 cross-disciplinary students through modules that will take them from ideation and team formation to pitching developed ventures on the third day. Our model drives collaboration, creativity, and transformative change over the course of the weekend. By the end, students will have the skills they need to form teams, effectively conduct customer discovery, and develop viable, scalable ventures.
We are thankful to be supported in part by the Student Activities Funding Commission.
