Reboot Startup Weekend 2017

UBC MBA Entrepreneurship Club

Reboot Startup Weekend is a unique business competition that reinvigorates previously developed, promising technologies that currently lack an economic business case. MBA students work alongside other Masters faculty students from the University of British Columbia (UBC) to develop business cases for these previously ‘orphaned’ technologies developed by UBC researchers. Reboot Startup Weekend, previously called Orphan Technology Startup Weekend (OTSW), was developed in 2014. Since then, each UBC MBA class has run the event with participation growing year over year.
 
 
Students have 72 hours over the course of one weekend to learn about a new technology, develop a practical business use case for the technology, and pitch their plan to a panel of judges. The top team will receive a cash prize, and the winner takes home the coveted Reboot trophy! This competition allows students to apply concepts learned in the classroom to a real technology, to learn how to quickly work with a cross-disciplinary team, and to experience a condensed version of the work it takes to build and promote a business plan. 
 
 
Reboot Startup Weekend will take place on Friday, November 3rd to Sunday, November 5th, 2017. The event will be held at the UBC Sauder School of Business with UBC MBAs and Masters students from a variety of other disciplines. Students will receive coaching on their strategies and pitches from prominent Vancouver entrepreneurs and MBA Alumni, to get them ready to present to our panel of distinguished judges. Volunteer mentors and judges come from various roles in the technology, finance, healthcare, life sciences, and entrepreneurship fields.
 
Ticket sales will remain open until November 1st, 2017.
