The Idea Lab: Think It. Map It. Pitch It. (Like a Founder)
🚀 Got an idea? Let’s make it real and irresistible 🔥
What if you could take that idea in your head…
and turn it into something clear, structured and pitch-ready in just one hour?
Join us for a high-energy session where we’ll break down how to visualize ANY idea—startup, business, or nonprofit—and turn it into something people actually understand, support and invest in.
🗓 April 7 | 5:30–6:30 PM
📍 DIGS, UNL College of Business (Howard L. Hawks Hall)
💡 What you’ll walk away with:
• A clear visual blueprint of your idea using the Business Model Canvas
• The ability to explain your idea in minutes
• A simple, powerful pitch structure you can use anywhere—class, competitions interviews
• Confidence to say: “Here’s my idea—and here’s why it matters.”
