Selected students will have the exclusive opportunity to meet in small groups with leading executives, as well as learn from remarkable keynote speakers. At last year’s Start @ a Startup Conference, 250 distinguished students connected with executives from over 30 industry-leading startups over an exciting, event-filled weekend. In the past, executives from Dropbox, Sequoia Capital, Yik Yak, Stripe, and many other industry-leading startups have presented and networked with students at our conference. You will also have the chance to set up one-on-one interviews with the companies that most pique your interest. The best part of all: we will cover all of your expenses!
