“Start early and use mentors, that’s my best advice” – Ellen Weber on the BYOBB competition

On November 18, Ellen Weber hosted the second BYOBB information session in the IEI Lab. Students filled the room to learn more about the exciting competition coming up in the spring. Many students were concerned that their ideas were not developed enough to enter into the BYOBB, but Ellen reassured them that this shouldn’t hold them back. As long as entries have a great business plan along with proof of concept, they have a chance of winning. As Ellen led the informational presentation, she took more questions from attendees and gave them some expert tips. At the conclusion of the workshop, ESA Executive Board members shared information about some cool events coming up in the next few weeks.
