Hi! I'm leading FEP on campus this year and I'd love to talk with anyone thinking about applying. Reach out anytime.
denise.pan@mail.hsa.netNo matter your experience with entrepreneurship, this program is built to change how you think about it. Here's what the week looks like.
01
Undergraduates who've balanced seed rounds with EXPOS20 and EC1011, on what that actually looks like week to week.
02
Founders who hit it big and the venture capitalists who wrote their first checks, in the same room.
03
Real case method. Real professors. You'll be asked to defend why a company succeeded, or why it didn't.
04
Guest speakers from venture, tech, consumer, and finance break down how their corner of the market actually operates.
05
From the first idea to a model, a market, and a deck. You'll speed-run the founder's path start to finish.
06
The program closes with a live competition judged by real VC representatives that give state-of-the-art advice.
You don't need a startup, a business background, or a finished idea. You just need to be curious about how companies get built.
Three days is short. The point is to walk out with things you keep.
Prizes run the length of the program. Show up, contribute, and keep pushing your idea forward, and you'll earn rewards well before the final day.
Three days, August 12 to 14, 12 to 2 PM EST daily. Speakers for 2026 are being confirmed.
The 2026 lineup is being finalized. Names will be posted here as they're confirmed.

Yes. Every session, panel, and the pitch competition run online, so you can join from anywhere before you move to campus.

Neither. Teams form during the program, and you'll meet the people you build with on day one.
