Happy 1st Birthday ReBuildUp!
Today, March 1st, is ReBuildUp’s 1 Year Anniversary. In a year we’ve developed four great games played in over 37 events for over 500 participants. Thanks to all our sponsors and volunteers who’ve helped get us this far.
Our goal for the coming year is to use our Startup Program to help launch first time entrepreneurs in a way that allows them to test drive the small business experience while minimizing their risks in the process.
Help us celebrate our Year 1 Birthday by telling an aspiring entrepreneur about our site!
PitchPocalypse Rescheduled to March
Due to some issues like the weather of the past week, we had a lower than expected turnout so we are rescheduling the PitchPocalypse to a later date in March, possibly on a Sunday to make it more convenient for students to attend. We will also be holding a 2nd ReBuildUp Course the Saturday before to increase our applicant pool for the contest.
Please check back on this site or join our Twitter or Facebook for the announcement on new dates. Those who’ve already entered the PitchPocalypse business plan contest will be contacted by email.
Thank you again to Summit Credit Union, Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, and UNCG’s NC Entrepreneurship Center for their continued support with these events.
