As a collegiate program, LaunchU encourages collaboration between students, professors and administration at the host university. Students develop a plan and business model for a spring term pitch competition that is modeled after ABC's hit show Shark Tank.

At the LaunchU Event, 5-10 teams of students present their ideas and business plans to a panel of judges, who will provide feedback. Winning teams receive startup prize money, up to 5 hours of mentoring and an invitation to pitch against other schools for additional funding at the Moxie Event.

Forge Events offer an excellent opportunity to learn from and network with colleagues and industry leaders in Film & Media, Real Estate, Technology and Lifestyle.

These events are scheduled on a rotating basis throughout the year and typically include a pitch competition where participants compete for startup or scaleup funding.

Bootcamp is an 2-3 day retreat that guides attendees through the basic process of starting a business or nonprofit organization.

With a curriculum that covers beginning, intermediate and advanced topics, leading business leaders present a wide range of topics to help you start or grow your organization.

Do you have what it takes to get your idea or business to the next level? Moxie is our premier business summit and pitch event.

Be inspired by top keynote speakers. Meet some of the brightest and best in business, technology, innovation and leadership. Watch winners from LaunchU compete for additional funding or pitch your great idea in the open pitch competition.
