LEARN About Startups… While LAUNCHING Startups!

StartupsForStudents.com (and many related “ReThinking Startups” Programs, Workshops, Competitions, etc. for students AND non-students)

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

With guidance/mentorship from experienced startup founders, you will actually start/run REAL ventures (what we refer to as “Starter Startups”)*

*Spoiler Alert: We believe there are many problems stemming indirectly from certain words and definitions (What IS a Startup? an Entrepreneur? Please, ask 5 different people for their definitions of those two words and let us know how many different responses you receive!)

LEARNING WHILE LAUNCHING
(and EARNING WHILE LEARNING?!)
MANAGE & MARKET (& MONETIZE?)
PICK & PROMOTE (& PROFIT?)
Working Individually and/or in Teams, select “Multiple Eggs” (products) from “Multiple Baskets” (categories/collections, by product type or topic) that you will work on and actually share in REAL PROFITS from the projects/products in your “Starter Startups” portfolio!
COLLABORATE. COMPETE. REPEAT.
Collaborate with other program participants, but also compete against each other for additional profits and prizes (based on criteria such as: product sales, ad revenue, web traffic, social media engagement, etc.).

PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE:

REAL Startup Experience, Entrepreneurship Education, and Personalized Mentoring
*Share of Profits* from YOUR designated projects/products —
[Individual Incentive to COMPETE]
*Share of Profits* from ALL TEAMS’ PROJECTS —
[Group Incentive to COLLABORATE]
*Winners of various contests and challenges receive additional perks/prizes/profits*
At the conclusion of the program, all participants are given the opportunity to negotiate for continued/ongoing participation (profit-sharing and/or real ownership/equity if venture is spun off into separate LLC) for any venture you feel you can provide ongoing value!

OUR HOPE IS TO FIND SOME LONG-TERM PARTNERS AND CO-FOUNDERS!

* Note: “Profits” are defined as revenue minus expenses, accrual-based accounting, for duration of program, AND for 30 days after program concludes.

LOCATIONS:

ATLANTA.

(Coming Soon: Cincinnati, Omaha, Orlando, Miami)

Obviously the part-time “Starter Startups” thing is not going to work for ALL startups (or ALL entrepreneurs!), but there are MANY startup business concepts that can be launched/tested quickly and inexpensively… particularly those based around some of our ViralWhatever.com “Lessons Learned”
