The Inno U. Challenge, Presented by Allstate and World Business Chicago.
Tomorrow evening we're kicking off the inaugural Inno U. Challenge at Google Chicago (320 N. Morgan, 60607)! We're bringing together students, startups, and student startups from multiple universities and colleges across Chicago for a night of networking and pitching.
Each startup will have three minutes to pitch their company and win the audience over. Attendees will be given "Inno Bucks" at the beginning of the event and, at the end of the presentations, will invest in their favorite startup. The company that funds the most will be crowned the winner and will win tickets to Chicago Inno's 50 on Fire and three months of office space at WeWork. (The office space has been donated as part of 'Mission Possible,' a new initiative WeWork has launched to empower companies with a higher purpose. More info here).
Following the presentations will be a 25-minute panel featuring recent graduates and graduate students who are currently scaling their businesses.
