For my entrepreneurship experience, I had the opportunity to participate in 3 Day Startup (3DS). It is a nonprofit organization supporting early-stage entrepreneurs on their journey from idea to product and building a successful business for profit impact. 

The entire program focused on teamwork. During the program, we received mentorship and training from a team of professionals. The mentors worked with us to help us develop our ideas and expand our network.

During our first day, we focused on networking with the other participants of the program. We were encouraged to brainstorm the various problems that we see around us individually and “imagine” a possible solution for them.

The next day, we were separated into different teams. We had to choose an industry and create a pitch for a possible entry into the market. My team and I explored the different industries we were interested in and how we could bring a differentiation strategy for our entry. After a lot of brainstorming, we concluded to explore the food app industry.

Summary of business created 

The app was to provide its users with healthy meal plans with macros included for each recipe and freedom to add/remove some ingredients.

Below is the pitch that was developed by my team.

During this program, I improved and developed new skills which include

• Working collaboratively with people from different backgrounds and majors.
• Make decisions and solve problems
• Communicate verbally
• Time management ( we had less than 48hr to pitch the project)

Students develop products, businesses, social programs, or other innovations that can be used to solve existing problems or capitalize on potential opportunities
