The Aggie Startup
Summit vision:
It all starts with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a startup. Maybe you’re figuring out your first steps. Or maybe you just want to meet the right people to help you turn a vision into reality.
Wherever you are in the journey, having the right insights, connections, and mindset can make all the difference. This event is built by students, for students—to help you take that next step with confidence.
Who Should Come:
Student Founders
You've launched your side hustle or startup and now need real traction. This event will help you learn how to attract customers, secure funding, and scale while avoiding costly mistakes.
Pre-Founders
You have an idea, but you haven't pulled the trigger just yet. Validate your concept with expert feedback, connect with potential co-founders and mentors, learn essential startup fundamentals, and build the confidence to finally launch!
Entrepreneurial Explorers
You're intrigued by entrepreneurship but haven't committed to a specific idea yet. This event offers you a firsthand look into startup culture, introduces you to diverse founders at various stages, and provides practical knowledge about the entrepreneurial journey.
