Startup Cruise takes Entrepreneurial Startups Out to Sea

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 3, 2012 - The Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization (CEO) with assistance from Nick Chmura, founder of Betterboo.com, is taking the startup experience to a whole new location, the sea.  On March 14th college students will join together with mentors and sponsors to start businesses over the four day event.  

The cruise ship will depart from Tampa, Florida and will travel to Cozumel, Mexico.  Over the course of the trip, students will work hands-on to develop business ideas with the help of mentors and have the ability to connect with investors at the end of the cruise. Not only will students enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but they will also leave with a new startup!

The event will begin with workshop sessions from mentors and sponsors.  Students with an idea for a business will pitch their startup idea to the rest of the attendees and then recruit their business team.  

The CEO Startup Cruise is open to college students across America and is still accepting applications for students, mentors, and sponsors.
