Startup Conference

By
Business Today is a student-run non-profit founded by Steve Forbes at Princeton University in 1968 which seeks to bridge the gap between influential business leaders and top undergraduate students.  

Specifically, the Start @ a Startup Conference is centered on connecting talented college students with 30 elite emerging companies through an immersive weekend experience in the heart of New York City that will take place this October 10th and 11th. Students will have the opportunity to meet in small groups with leading executives, as well as learn from remarkable keynote speakers. In the past, we have had great speakers from Dropbox, Sequoia, and many others. This year, we are excited to welcome founders from Yik Yak, Stripe, Asana, and PlanGrid as keynote speakers! Students will also have the chance to set up one-on-one interviews with the companies that most pique their interest.  Plus, travel, accommodations, and all expenses are covered by us! Just a reminder of our great lineup this year:

Keynotes:
Tyler Droll, Founder @ Yik Yak
Dustin Moskovitz, Founder @ Asana (and co-Founder of Facebook)
Patrick Collison, Founder @ Stripe
Tracy Young, Founder @ PlanGrid

Panelists:
Marco Zappacosta, Founder @ Thumbtack
Apoorva Mehta, Founder @ Instacart
Chris Lambert, CTO @ Lyft
Robert Cromwell, Founder @ Inkling

See the attached flyer for more information or read more about the event and this year's participating companies at startup.businesstoday.org.  I have also included a brief section below that could easily be forwarded to your students. We would love to have students from University of Waterloo at the conference this year, so please let me know if you have any questions!  Thanks!

Sincerely,
Peter Holt

Assistant Director of Student Relations

  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...   Compete to win prizes! Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.   For 21 days a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges. The contestant deemed to have been most i...
