eCo-op Coffee Chat
Heard about eCo-op or eGrad, but not sure where to start? Start with coffee!
We host a casual coffee chat once each semester with our current Entrepreneurship Co-op students — founders who were exactly where you are one semester ago!
Each of them took early-stage ideas and turned them into full-time co-op work terms, receiving $10,000 salary to spend a semester building their own startups.
Come by and ask:
• what made them apply
• what actually happens during an eCo-op/eGrad term
• what they wish they knew earlier
• whether your idea is “ready enough”
