Cornerstone: prove out your idea in 10 days

Cornerstone is Velocity's two-week sprint for students and researchers from any faculty who want to explore an idea they have or even just an area of interest with a supportive community. It is focused on introducing you to potential customers and stakeholders who live and work outside the university. It will help you build the confidence you'll need to have productive, empathetic conversations that will create the foundation of your idea and give it real impact.

No pitch deck. No pressure. No technical skills required

Join the hundreds of students and researchers all exploring their own ideas through coaching, networking, and the chance to win great cash prizes.

$2,500 in prizes to be awarded!
