Women Entrepreneur Business Solution Competition</a> (Founders Hall, $ - Prizes Awarded)<br>
</b>3 female founders will pitch a current challenge they are navigating in their businesses, and student teams will have the day to craft solutions to these problems. Teams will present their solutions to judges and founders, and the winning teams will walk
away with cash prizes! This is a great way to gain practical startup world problem-solving experience, and to meet/network with other entrepreneurial students. If you’re a founder, it’s a nice way to think about problem solving without having such a personal
stake in the outcome! Students can form teams and register together, or register separately.<br>
