A Successful Business venture through S-Combinator

Boot Camp!

Starting up a business proposal is never easy. It
requires not just an individual but a team. A team

which works best when individuals, across many
disciplines, wearing different hats, gather to
stimulate and generate an idea for a feasible and
rational concept for a product or a service. With a

similar aim, this year's boot camp lead by the
College of Business, with their dean - Dr. Victor

Manabat, makes things possible by gathering Event Poster
representatives from different college courses, and the College of Psychology did not let it pass
without actively participating. This first virtual S-Combinator boot camp looks forward to

outputs conceptualize to be used as a tool for alleviating poverty.

This is a three-day boot camp, from June 16 -18, composing of five different groups with
members from diverse courses. On the orientation and first meet-up of the representatives,

groups were formed and asked to come up with their Company name - namely "PSYEIT OMHS,"

"Solutech," "Rexpertise," "EFAS," and "CryptoCon."

activities (concept mapping & SCAMPER) to allow the
groups to have a deeper analysis on their specific

products/services. On the following day Sir Pedrito
