Starting Your Startup

Details

Come join us for the event and then drinks afterwards at Martini 494 (across the street) to celebrate Newark Tech Week (http://www.newarktechweek.com/).

We initially started with the title "Entrepreneurship in College" since this panel is comprised of individuals who launched their startups while in college (or right afterwards).. so think about it: No Money, No Connections, No Work Experience... and they STILL overcame these hurdles to launch a business! They will share their steps for success and the pivots they made along the way so it's applicable to anyone who has an idea for a business and is ready to make the leap.

Schedule:

6:30 - 7:00: Arrival & Networking (room 308)
7:00 - 8:00 Panel with open Q&A
8:00 - Until you want to leave: Drinks & Networking

Speakers:

"Josh graduated from Trinity University in 2010 and moved to New York City just 5 days later without a job but with a boatload of determination. A hustler to the core, Josh has worn many hats in his career including editor-in-chief of his student newspaper, commercial video editor, web designer/developer and even nightclub promoter. As CEO of doUdeal, he draws on his unique skill sets to lead product development and company strategy."

"Willie graduated from Duke University in 2012 and accepted a job working in financial services. While working as an equity research analyst, Willie teamed up with three former classmates to create SquadUP where he is the co-president and oversees product development, business development and day-to-day operations."

Rob - Pijon

"Rob's been hustling from startup to startup and adapting to ever-changing business environments for over 5 years. He became a boring strategy consultant before diving into "Startupland" as he reinvents college care packages by sending students awesome stuff they love as the CEO and co-founder of Pijon (www.PijonBox.com)"

Ben - Sumpto

"Ben graduated from the University of Miami in 2011 and soon realized that his social impact was far greater when he was in college. That's why he created Sumpto; a website that measures the social influence of college students and rewards them for it."
