"Building Your Startup" is a workshop series where you as a ITU student can learn the essential tools to develop a startup. All you need to apply is an idea or a skill. The program is also relevant if you already have a early stage startup.
The program consists of the following 4 workshops - all taking place here at ITU - with 1-1 sessions in between plus an inspiration and demo day (Nov 26, in the afternoon). If you and your team already have a startup with a proven product/market fit you can apply to the startup hub directly to get business consulting, office space and access to other services and benefits.
