@ Texas Union – September 24th

We are proud to announce that the 2nd Annual Start Up Meet Up will be held on Friday, September 24th at the Texas Union on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin!  Last year was a great success with over 200 participants and we are planning to build on that.

Please stay tuned for ticket, speaker, and logistical details.  If you are interested in sponsoring this wonderful event, please contact Luke Jones at luke.jones@mba11.mccombs.utexas.edu

Thanks and looking forward to seeing you there!

Save the date and location! UT Alumni Center between 6-9pm.

The 9^th Annual MBA+ Pitch Party challenges MBA students to “pitch” their best start up idea to mock “investors” who are prominent members of the greater Austin entrepreneurship community and McCombs faculty.  Investors are given venture funding (in true monopoly fashion) to back the best ideas that they hear over the course of the evening cocktail event.

(The idea can be real or fictional. You just have to sell it to the mock investors!)

DETAILS:

What: Pitchers win prizes by collecting the most “McCombs Money”.

Drinks and appetizers will be served.

Who: Pitchers – 1st year McCombs MBAs with entrepreneurial ideas

Investors – Alumni, VCs, angels, business leaders, faculty, and 2nd year MBA students

Object: Gain the most investor support in the form of “McCombs Money”

Pitch: A 60-second “elevator pitch” outlining your idea.  Be creative!  Have fun!

Where: UT Alumni Center, 2110 San Jacinto Blvd. (right across from the football stadium)

When: Thursday, September 23rd, 6-9 p.m.

SPONSORING OPPORTUNITIES: If you are interested in sponsoring this wonderful event, please contact Luke Jones at luke.jones@mba11.mccombs.utexas.edu
