Whopathon
Have you ever wondered how quickly an idea can become a real business?
As part of Innovation Week's AI Day, join us for the Whopathon — a fast-paced, hands-on challenge where you'll use AI tools to turn an idea into a live online business in just a few hours. Designed for students of all backgrounds, the Whopathon demonstrates how emerging technologies are removing traditional barriers to entrepreneurship and making it easier than ever to launch new ventures.
Led by John Hill from Whop, participants will be guided through the process of identifying a problem, developing a solution, building an online storefront and creating a business that can continue to grow beyond the event itself. No previous entrepreneurial, business or technical experience is required.
Whether you're interested in AI, startups, technology, digital products or simply want to challenge yourself and try something new, the Whopathon offers a unique opportunity to learn by doing.
