Women Entrepreneur Business Solution Competition (1-Day Event)

​Join us for an exciting collaboration between GirlUp Entrepreneurs, UW's MBA Women in Business and Entrepreneurs and Venture Capital Clubs, and the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship’s Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership program (WE Lead)” as we present a one-of-a-kind startup business solution competition. In this dynamic event, we will have 3 female founders unveil one current challenge they are navigating within their businesses.

​​Participating teams will embark on a 6-hour journey to craft innovative white paper solutions for one of the three presented problems. The founders and a panel of independent judges will evaluate the submissions, and winning teams for each respective startup a cash prize. Don't miss this opportunity to witness and engage in the intersection of entrepreneurship, problem-solving, and empowering women in the business world.
