Virtual Speaker Series
Startup Experience
Interact with successful entrepreneurs online.
Get startup experience by managing a venture.
CEO is teaming up with the Virtual Speaker Series to provide CEO members with interactive, live, virtual, entrepreneurship broadcasts featuring the country’s top young entrepreneurs.
Zappedy has created a simple and fast platform that helps students create a daily-deal business on campus. Initially founded by two Stanford Business School graduates, they are now looking to mentor interested students. Motivated and entrepreneurial students will have the opportunity to build a profitable business, while learning hands-on about client acquisition and sales growth from the perspectives of merchants and customers. A 10 hour per week commitment is required. Space is limited, so contact brad@zappedy.com for more information.
During the fall semester, CEO members will be able to virtually participate in multiple 1.5 hour events featuring talks from successful entrepreneurs about exploring what it means to be an entrepreneur and how to prepare to be one. More information will be sent out in the near future regarding these fun, virtual events and how you can participate. For now, you can learn more at http://www.virtualspeakerseries.org.
