1 Semester Startup Demo Day

CLEE was a proud sponsor of 1 Semester Startup Demo Day on November 29th. The event showcased 10 undergraduate startups from their Fall 2012 class.

Undergraduate students experienced entrepreneurship first-hand, learning from some of the most successful entrepreneurs in Austin. University of Texas students from many different departments including Computer Science, Engineering and Management started companies and were assisted with a semester-long program of startup acceleration: speakers, mentors, and supervised project work. Mentors are exceptional people who have successfully started one or more companies.

Each startup gave 6 minutes presentation on stage after a great presentation from Rony Kahan, Co-founder of indeed.com. Check out our event photos here!
