The past two weeks have been a blast! 💥
The USC and Techstars Digital Economy Program launched on the first weekend of April with Startup Weekend! We had 48 engaged participants that learned how to think, work and build like an entrepreneur.
The following week, we held the first USC and Techstars Ecosystem Development Lab with community leaders that are passionate and dedicated to nurturing USC entrepreneurs and startups.
It was such a pleasure to see this vibrant community in action and I am so grateful to all of the participants for making this a wonderful experience.
Check out all the fun we had in the photos and I want to share a special shoutout to the following:
⭐ First and foremost, thank you to the University of Southern California for our partnership in supporting aspiring entrepreneurs and startups! This wouldn't be possible without the USC Research and Innovation, Steven Moldin & Robyn Hejmej.
