Over six months, Expop guides young founders through the same arc every startup goes through: ideation, building the product, branding it, marketing it, selling it, and pitching it to investors, with mentorship from Ivy League student founders and workshops from people who've worked at Google, Slack, LinkedIn, and HP. Backed by Ascendance, which has reached 50,000+ students in 26 countries since 2015, Expop isn't a simulation. It's a real venture, a real cohort, and a real shot at $7,500 in prizes and up to $50,000 in investment.
