UT Challenge

Coaches

The UT Challenge business panel is here to help you on your road to a successful innovation and start up. Not only can the members of the business panel collaborate with you on technical aspects, they can also offer advice on business modeling, marketing and finance aspects. You can pose questions online via your dashboard (as of February 25) and you’ll be able to meet these mentors in person during workshop and speed dating days. The additional collaboration with 3 UT-alumni coaches is restricted to inspirational speeddate sessions on May 14.
