Have you ever wondered what it really means to work in a startup?
How are real decisions made when time is limited, the budget is tight, unexpected challenges are always around the corner, and every choice can make a difference?

 

Take part in Startup First Experience, a one-day Business Simulation designed for undergraduate students in Engineering, Architecture, and Design who want to step into the shoes of a startup founder for a day, in a dynamic and realistic environment.

 

During the session, you will join a multidisciplinary team and work on a hypothetical startup to be launched, simulating its first strategic decisions: from product development to market choices, from resource management to team organization, and from handling risks to responding to unexpected events.

This will not be just a theoretical exercise: you will have to choose, discuss, negotiate, and make decisions—just like in a real startup.

 

What will you do

• Listen to the real story behind the birth of a startup

• Choose one of the five proposed startups to work on

• Freely form your team and define your role (technical, design, business, communication, etc.)

• Tackle realistic challenges and constraints

• Present a Startup Snapshot and a short final pitch at the end of the day

 

Why participate

A concrete opportunity to develop soft skills, work in teams, discover how your skills can be turned into a real entrepreneurial project, and get closer to the world of innovation and entrepreneurship.

 

How to participate

Students interested in taking part in the Startup First Experience must first complete the Innovator Group Assessment, a group interview with a Career Advisor from the Career Service.
After registering for the activity, the Career Service will contact you to schedule your Innovator Group Assessment.
