Iowa Startup Games
Team up, pitch ideas, and create a business in a weekend. Dive into the entrepreneurial culture with your classmates at Iowa Startup Games! This is a three-day event where students, from all areas of study, pitch their ideas to have an impact. After you share, you will form teams and work together to bring the best ideas to life. By the third day, each team will pitch to a group of panelists for a chance to win cash prizes. You will learn problem-solving skills, have the opportunity to meet with community members, and begin to think like a creative entrepreneur. Bring your ideas to life in a creative and collaborative weekend. This event is not open to the public to attend.
