Ready to take the biggest leap of faith of your life? Step one is to find people who make the same choice and can help you. Your friends don’t have the same ambitions? No problem. Meet new ones who do. No one can do it alone. You will need a co-founder (or two). And maybe a team. Submit your info and we’ll match you with other like-minded individuals who may just become your best friends.

IdeaFactory will allow students to pitch their business ideas, and receive constructive feedback in a supportive environment from fellow students and experienced entrepreneurs. You can also find mentors and also meet potential co-founders. You do not have to have a startup idea to attend. We encourage all who are interested in entrepreneurship to attend.

If you would like to pitch your business idea, please give us some information by filling out the google form here. Pitches can be up to 3 minutes in length (no demos) and will receive 5 minutes of feedback by a panel, with up-to 5 minutes of Q&A. Due to time constraint we have only a few slots for pitching, so please reply!
