Join us for our first ever Startup Night!
Our kickoff event will be a chance to learn more about the new Student Startup Funding program, hear from experts about how to fund your startup, and practice pitches. We are excited to feature Heidi Calderon, Founder and CEO of Berry Cultured and winner of 2023’s TENWEST IdeaFunding Pitch Competition and Mark McKenna, Director of Lending at Groundswell Capital for our exclusive panel discussion. They'll be interviewed live by a U of A student and you'll have a chance to text your Qs to be answered by our guests.
We'll also be giving out up to $1,000 at this event to student founders! If you're interested in doing a 3 minute pitch for your venture at the event, please
