Are you a UCLA student or recent alumni looking for a technical co-founder, lead engineer, freelancer, intern, etc. to join you in developing your idea? Or a current UCLA student studying CS, CS&E, EECE, Applied Mathematics, etc. or with a programming background interested in joining the development of an idea at its earliest stages? If so, this event is for you.

On Wednesday, May 16th, at 6:00 pm in the West Coast Room of Covel Commons, Startup UCLA and student orgs UPE, ACM, Sigma Eta Pi, and Bruin Entrepreneurs are bringing students and recent alumni with startups and student developers together for a pitch and mixer night. In the first hour, students/recent alumni with a startup (or idea for a startup) will each give a 60 second pitch to the audience of student developers. Immediately following the pitches will be a mixer held in the Startup UCLA office (Covel Common 203) from 7:00 – 8:00 pm in which the student devs and those that pitched will have the opportunity to mix and meet one another, learn more about each other, and discuss working together if so inclined.

Food will be served at the mixer.
