TechChill Student Challenge returns in a 24-hour format! 🔥

Think you need years of experience to break into startups? You don't. You just need one day to start. This isn't about who knows the most. These 24 hours are about willingness to try, learn, and build a real solution alongside other curious and open-minded students. 💡 You in? Join the challenge now!

What to expect:

First, you will hear startup founder stories and what they're building today. You’ll learn how they think, how they pitch, and how they turn early ideas into something worth sharing.🗣️

Then it’s your turn. Together with others, you’ll take on a challenge, shape an idea, and prepare a pitch. By the end of the 24 hours, you’ll present what you’ve come up with and see how far you can go in a short amount of time.😎
