Problem Statement

Student entrereneurs don’t have an online platform within the university to be connected with other students and founders.

Solution

The Student Connections Board is a student portal for students to share business and project ideas and connect with other students to make it happen. For example, a marketing major might need a computer science student, finance student, and legal student to work on their business idea.

Mockup Page Ideas

• Home: Student Job Board
• Resources: A collection of all organizations and resources within the university that students can access
• Login and Profile: Students can input their skill set, business/project pitch, and what students they’re looking for. A messaging system.

Case Ideas

Adam is a computer science student who is hoping to create a startup. However, he needs an engineering student who will build his hardware, a marketing student that will market the product, and a financial student that will help with the funding and financing of the company. Adam posts his skills on his profile, a summary for his startup idea and posts the skills he’s looking for. Cassidy is a marketing student who wants to get involved with the startup scene. She creates a profile online and connects with Adam. They then start their business and utilize the connections board to fill out the rest of their team.

Beyond the Basics

• This service can be scaled to any other school. For example, Hawai’i based entrepreneurs can be connected with students from the mainland and vice versa.
• Entrepreneurship Features Page: Projects and Businesses can be highlighted for more publicity.
