Held Oct. 17 to 24, 2024, as part of CU Boulder's New Venture Challenge. The transcript is edited from YouTube's automatic captions. The video cuts between organizers, students and judges without naming each speaker, so lines are not attributed.
Tonight we are kicking off the hackathon. We are hoping that you have ideas for sustainability issues that we can find a solution to this week.
I’m offering a bounty. It’s going to be three grand for the winner and one grand for the runner-up. We’re throwing money at you.
The idea that we’re able to have a competition for creating a sustainable business is kind of a culmination of what I came to business school for.
We have lots of tools and lots of opportunity to connect with mentorship.
This is a life-changing opportunity. You will be blown away by what you can build in a week.
I’d say this is a great stepping stone for people who want to turn their dreams into reality, and you get all the resources right on campus.
You learn a lot about how businesses run, and how to create value where other people don’t see it.
In third place, Peak Energy. In second place, Saga. And in first place, congratulations to Good Watt.
