SPARK803 Startup Showcase & Graduation

Come celebrate the SPARK803 cohort founders as they showcase their startups, pitch, and graduate! Join us at the Boyd Innovation Center to celebrate the founders of the SPARK803 cohort as they wrap up the program! Over the past several weeks, these entrepreneurs have been developing their businesses through SPARK803. Now it’s time to see what they’ve built. The evening opens with a startup showcase. Every business in the cohort will have a table, so you can walk around, meet the founders, see their products and prototypes, and learn what they’re working on. Next, five finalists take the stage for a pitch competition, presenting to a panel of judges with a live Q&A after. While the judges deliberate, you’ll get to vote for your favorite business for the Community Choice Award. We’ll close by recognizing every graduate of the cohort and announcing the competition winners and Community Choice winner! This event is free and open to the public. Whether you’re a founder, investor, mentor, or just curious about Columbia’s startup scene, we’d love to see you there.
