College may seem like a daunting time to take on additional projects, but launching a startup while in school offers many unique opportunities. The learning environment is rife with seasoned mentors, potential cofounders, knowledgeable researchers, and a vast network of alumni eager to help.
But how do you balance your academic requirements, social life, and the responsibilities and time commitment that come with launching your own company? It may sound intimidating, but not only can it be done, it has been done!
In this session, you’ll hear from a panel of startup founders who began their businesses while in school. They’ll share their motivations, the mistakes they made, the challenges they overcame, and the advantages of getting started while immersed in an academic environment.
