What is the I4E Startup Showcase?

The I4E Startup Showcase (formerly the Venture RAMS Business Showcase) features 6 CSU student founders pitching their ventures in a live, fast-paced format. This event gives selected students the opportunity to present in front of a panel of judges and an audience made up of the CSU and Northern Colorado entrepreneurial communities. The showcase provides valuable exposure, feedback, and connections for student entrepreneurs while bringing together campus and community leaders to support emerging ventures.
