USCStartUp is hosting Columbia's first StartupWeekend! I would like to extend a special invitation to you and your students. All the details are below. Please encourage your students to participate. They may use USCSTUDENT discount code for a 50% discount. Food and beverages for the entire weekend will be provided.
If you or your students have any questions, please reach out to me.
Thank you!
StartupWeekend is the second Google For Entrepreneurs powered event that will be launching in Columbia. The launch will coincide with the Global Entrepreneurship Week in November! Columbia will also enter the Global Startup Battle vying for the top 3 honors amongst startups created that week all over the world!
No talk all action - Build your idea, validate, and form a startup in just 54 hours! Lot of you have been toying with an idea, an idea you think might solve a big market problem or save the world! Now you get to work on it - with all the right people, together, under one roof, in one weekend!
StartupWeekends are weekend-long, hands-on experiences where entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if startup ideas are viable. On average, half of Startup Weekend’s attendees have technical or design backgrounds, the other half have business backgrounds.
Columbia's first event will take place from Nov 14 to Nov 16. To register go to swcolasc.co
Beginning with open mic pitches on Friday, attendees bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Over Saturday and Sunday teams focus on customer development, validating their ideas, practicing LEAN Startup Methodologies and building a minimal viable product. On Sunday evening teams demo their prototypes and receive valuable feedback from a panel of experts.
Winning teams, and some others, usually end up launching companies. Prizes worth thousands of dollars in credits and startup support from various local, national, and international sponsors helps teams to realize their startup dream. Winning any of the Global Startup Battle tracks will open up never-seen-before opportunities and prizes for startups. Check out globalstartupbattle.co/prizes
If you are a student or professional, developer or designer, marketer or product manager - this is for you! You can contribute to the teams in many ways even if your skills don't fall in the standard category. It's a great experience to learn how to build startups, in just a weekend!
USC's Office of Economic Engagement's USCStartup and USC/Columbia Technology Incubator with support from IT-oLogy are bringing this event to Midlands region for the first time.
For any questions on the main event, bootcamps, and volunteering opportunities contact Raghav Badiger raghav@uscstartup.orgWe unfortunately missed the Fall recruitment event (but are planning on attending in the Spring) and are really looking to add USC December graduates to our February early in career hire program as well as May graduates to our July class. We have opened an account and posted the positions we are seeking but I am attaching the positions as well as some information on our program with hopes you can further distribute to prospective students as well as faculty so they are aware of the program. Additionally, here is the web address students can access for further information as well as to apply. We actually have several positions open in our Greenville office so the students are able to stay close to their alma mater. http://www.metlifegto.com/jobs/university

We are offering paid Spring & Summer internship opportunities to qualified students in Computer Science or with Computer Science related research interests. Regrettably this opportunity is for US citizens because of the requirements of an Air Force research program.
In a number of cases, the internship will not require re-location as we have a 3D virtual research campus (Deep Horizons) that we’ve established to facilitate distance research via avatar technologies.
Our Summer internships are full-time and part-time both on-site and off-site while our Spring internships are primarily part-time and do not require the students to re-locate – although we offer on-site internships – in which case,
I am with the Air Force Research Laboratory, headquartered at Wright Patterson AFB, OH - and the research director for the AFRL Discovery Lab – modeled and operated as a year round research center staffed by largely undergraduate (and some grad) students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields.
We offer both full time and part-time research internships in a wide spectrum of STEM fields of study but this inquiry is specifically for students in Computer Science interested in full time or part-time research in 3D virtual reality, data analytics for high performance team, mobile apps, internet of things or computer vision.
Some of our internship opportunities can also be structured to be part time via our 3D virtual research campus called Deep Horizons to allow students to be part of our research program without having to re-locate. They would participate as avatars and work with team mates (and possibly some of our industry partners) across the country from their home or apartment.
A part time summer internship would also give students an opportunity to participate in our research program while juggling their other summer commitments.
