From here, we branch off and work to polish our idea. It is also here, where you realize how possible it is to make this happen.Īfter everyone pitched their business ideas, we voted on the two best ideas, and they ‘moved on to the next round.’ Everyone regrouped and, from at least 14 winning pitches, the participants selected the top six. Essentially, this is what entrepreneurship is all about. Even if you aren’t “re-inventing the wheel,” you still have to come up with a valid point as to why your idea will work despite its competition.
Put yourself in this situation: Here is an idea you have pondered or contemplated for perhaps a day, possibly a week, and in some cases, years, and you are opening it up to a very harsh, cut-throat critique. The best way to describe it is telling your deepest secret to a group of six strangers to be judged. After this, the participants were sectioned off into small groups and put into separate rooms where we pitched our business ideas. I learned a lot about people, investors, and a ton about entrepreneurship and business startup that will definitely stay with me.ĭay 1 kicked off with an information session hosted by the 3DS representative Jackson Dyre-Borowicz, who is an entrepreneur himself. Having gotten the opportunity to participate, I can say first hand that despite the lack of sleep, I learned a lot from this program. Over the course of three days, participants are tasked with building a business from the ground up. This was one of the ideas pitched during Georgia Southern University’s 2nd annual 3 Day Startup (3DS) event, February 20-22.ģ Day Startup is an opportunity for college students from freshman to doctorate levels in any field of study to gain entrepreneurial experience. What if there were an app that filled you in on the best moves going on in town? No false advertising–no fake posts, just genuine fun. Where are they anyway? And how did they know about this event? You are bombarded by photos of your friends hanging out and having a blast while you sit at home. After a long battle with silence, you pull out your phone to check your social media network for a solution.
You heard from a friend of a friend that some awesome party is going down tonight, but he is notorious for over-hyping things. It is the beginning of a three-day weekend, and you have nothing to do. So, you’re sitting on your couch–bored out of your mind.
