Organization:3 Day Startup

So, what is 3DS?
3 Day Startup (3DS) is a student-founded organization that strives to activate entrepreneurial potential across the globe by offering free, experiential entrepreneurship education for students in any field. The skills and experience acquired during a three-day Startup weekend will prepare students to blossom in successful entrepreneurship ecosystems, especially technology-based ventures. By connecting students, educators and industry leaders- 3DS fosters a network of growth and has established an everlasting educational community that spans the globe!
You might be asking yourself, “How can 3 days be enough to learn entrepreneurship?” As one of the world’s leading entrepreneurial startup educators, the unique structure and experiential learning models employed by 3DS provide necessary resources equivalent to 6-9 months of training, in just one weekend! During the three day course, approximately 40 students from various disciplines will guide their startup ideas through the design thinking process, culminating in a final presentation to a board consisting of field experts and investors! 3DS provides participants with modules, contacts, team-builders, and other accommodations such as meals and free server storage.

More specifically, the 3DS Startup weekend itinerary consists of:

• Day 1: Targets Ideation, Team Formation, and the Lean Canvas module
