Entrepreneurs: October Newsletter

Thu, 03 Oct 2019 16:24:23 -0400

Members,

A couple of important announcements regarding the Entrepreneurs Student Org. for October:

DevSpace (formerly called IdeaLab) is a startup space dedicated to collaboration, product design and more to help student entrepreneurs enhance ideas. A relaxed environment where entrepreneurs can come to work and get feedback, resources and more every Friday in ITE 237 from 12:00 - 1:00pm.

This is a recurring space dedicated for you in ITE 237, and we encourage entrepreneurs to come prepared with questions or ideas.

Alex Brown Center for Entrepreneurship holds workshops for students throughout the semester. We encourage students to attend these workshops, as many times they provide supplementary material we discuss in the Org.

Until further notice, Monday meetings have been suspended. UMBC has enforced a policy where meetings cannot be held for Orgs without rooms and spaces booked in advance. Unfortunately, confirming a room has become a burden and we have not yet received confirmation for Monday meetings.

As a result, lectures provided on Mondays will be summarized and sent as handouts instead. General concepts and questions will also be followed up on the following Friday. We will be updating the Fall 2019 schedule to illustrate these changes.

The IDEA Competition deadline is soon approaching on October 10th, 2019. Please attend DevSpace meeting held on October 4th, 2019 to best prepare for a submission and chance to win money for your startup.

We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday in ITE 237.

Regards,

Entrepreneurs Student Org. Executive Board
