2020 Nebula Challenge Highlights

The Challenge

With over 170+ participants from across the globe, the first annual Nebula Entrepreneurship Challenge was a resounding success, inviting young minds to build their entrepreneurial acumen. Our participants formed teams in which they brainstormed business ideas to deliver in a 3-minute video pitch. Our participants reinforced that idea generation can happen at any age, and the best time to get started is now.
