About this event
If you’re somebody who is intellectually curious about how start-ups work, like taking risks, have decision-making abilities, and are constantly trying to keep up with the start-up ecosystem, the Junior Start-Up Challenge by IE University is made for you.
This is a month long challenge with 4 masterclasses, where you will understand what is relevant in today’s start-up ecosystem, learn the tools required in ideating for them, and understand the fundamentals of Market Research, Design Thinking, Marketing, Sales and Pitching & Fundraising, and how to implement them into your own start-up ideas. The top 20 teams selected, go through a mentoring week where they get to develop their business pitch deck under a mentor. On the final day, Top 10 teams pitch their ideas and the team with the best business deck gets an exclusive scholarship to pursue the undergraduate programme at IE University Spain.
All participants will get to attend a pre-challenge session on the 11th of July 2022 on “Innovative Mindset” with Professor Balwinder Powar.
This challenge is only open to students residing in South Asia, graduating high school in 2023 or 2024.
