FAQs

  • How much of a time commitment is this?

    It's just one day (April 18th) from 9am to 4pm, and it’s a University reading day so you won’t have classes. The schedule is designed to be high-value and respectful of your time.

  • Who are the speakers?

    We have a fantastic speaker list of people from Austin, Dallas, & Houston, many of whom have never spoken at Texas A&M before. You'll get the chance to hear from successful founders, CEOs, investors, and industry professionals who can speak to all stages of the process.

  • Do I have to know a lot about entrepreneurship?

    Nope! The day is designed for people at all stages- we have a whole breakout session about "Finding your Why" if you aren't quite sure what direction to go in.

  • What if I don't know anyone?

    We can introduce you to other attendees before the day of the event! Just let us know- we can find people with your similar interests/goals.

  • Is this only for students who already have a business idea?

    Not at all! Whether you're just curious about entrepreneurship, actively working on a startup, or simply want to learn more about innovation and business-building, there's something for you at the Startup Summit.

  • What will I actually get out of attending?

    Real-world insights from people who've built successful companies, practical knowledge about starting and growing ventures, connections with mentors and fellow entrepreneurial-minded students, and inspiration to take your next steps - whatever those might be.

  • Is this going to be super formal?

    Not at all! The Summit was created by students for students, so come as you are!

  • Will there be food?

    Yes! We'll provide breakfast snacks and lunch, giving you a chance to refuel while connecting with speakers and other attendees.

  • Is this going to be cool?

    Absolutely, but we're biased. Guess you'll just have to come hear from the 15+ speakers & mentors and 150+ other attendees and see for yourself!
