Across our programs, we heard from students that they were eager to connect with other current students running businesses. Student Founders Night was launched in fall 2024 to do just that — bring together current student business owners for fellowship, collaboration and mentorship.
This semester’s Student Founder Nights are proudly planned and presented by student leaders of the McFerrin Experience Team!
Fall 2024 Dates | 7-8:30 p.m.
- Tuesday, Sept. 17
- Hosted by Ethan Coffin ’26, a McFerrin Experience Team student director, and Jack Berger ’26, founder of Tyr Laboratories, a dronetech startup based out of Texas A&M.
- The focus of the evening will be on expanding your business’ revenue pipeline, with insights into business-to-consumer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) relationships. They’ll also dive into opportunities like SAM.gov, DARPA’s SBIR program and municipal purchasing programs. Following the workshop, Ethan and Jack will work directly with attendees to help identify specific market opportunities for their businesses.
- Monday, Oct. 14
- “Business Expansion + Networking” featuring Rob Youker, a 48-year business veteran, CEO of YouCorp, Inc., and leader of The Sportsman, a top-rated boat dealership. Rob is eager to share his expertise in business operations, sales psychology and customer loyalty. Learn firsthand how he built an award-winning company and overcame real-world challenges. You’ll have the opportunity to gain powerful insights and apply them to your own entrepreneurial journey.
- Monday, Nov. 11
