2019 Venture Competition Application Kickoff

Are you ready for the annual Zahn Center Startup Competition?! Last year, CCNY students just like you competed for prizes totaling $150K to start their own businesses with apps, hardware devices, social impact organizations, and more. Our 2019 application opens on Thursday, September 6th & we're throwing a party in the NAC Ballroom to celebrate! Come check it out and stay for: -Discussions with CCNY startup founders who have completed our program--you can ask them all about it, and learn how they're creating impact with their startup -A super speedy Design Thinking Workshop where you'll learn how to discover pressing problems, get to the root of those problems, and come up with awesome solutions. If you don't have an idea but want to join our competition, this is a great place to start! If you do have an idea, this is a great exercise to learn! The best idea will win a prize at the end! -A safe environment to network & meet new ambitious creatives like yourself. Plus, there will be snacks! -You'll also learn how to apply, what events we're offering this year, and how to book meetings with us to talk about your idea. So come out and celebrate with us, learn something new, and meet friends. The kickoff takes place in the NAC Ballroom (past the Bookstore) from 12:15-2:00pm. Don't miss it! The Zahn Innovation Center is the entrepreneurial hub at The City College of New York. We offer an annual startup competition for CCNY students that includes business development training, prototyping assistance, and mentorship.
