The MetroBusiness Center is excited to be a Founding Sponsor of the Startup Challenge — a weekend long experiential learning event taking place on Friday night, 9/23  through Sunday night, 9/25 at the Carlsen Center @ Sac State. The Startup Challenge is actually two competitions in one: The Catalyst Cohort and the Traction Cohort. There are amazing prizes for both!

The Catalyst Cohort is for brand new ideas, and anyone is welcome to participate — even if you don’t have an idea. No startup or special skills required. If you’re wondering if the Catalyst Challenge right for you, it probably is. In the Catalyst Challenge, you’re competing to launch a startup.

The Traction Cohort is for startups that already have some work product. You can have a product or customers, though you certainly don’t have to. But you cannot have raised investment yet. In the Traction Challenge, you’re competing to find traction.
