The 60 Minute Startup

​Join us for The 60 Minute Startup, a fast-paced, hands-on experience where participants collaborate to turn raw ideas into startup pitches — in 60 minutes!

​Here’s how it works:

• ​Everyone comes armed with a startup idea (serious or silly — anything goes).

• ​You’ll be grouped with other random participants to share and vote on your favorite idea.

• ​Together, your team will spend 45 minutes developing a quick pitch using provided prompts.

• ​Finally, each team presents their “startup” to the larger group — and we celebrate the most creative, compelling, or downright wild ideas.

​No prizes. No pressure. Just energy, creativity, and community.

​This event is all about practicing innovation in action — perfect for entrepreneurs, students, and anyone curious about how ideas become ventures.
