How the master in Startup Creation works

The students who will be selected will spend the first semester of the master a Washingtonon the Georgetown University campus, and the second a Genoa: they will be able to try to create their own startup, alone or in a team, guided and supported by both professors and mentors from unicorns like Younited, GrammarlyCarNext and Rippling, from universities such as Stanford, Harvard and Berkeley or from companies like Google, Meta, and Microsoft.

At the end of the academic year, students who have created a startup will replace the classic final thesis project with the presentation of their idea to investors during a demo day: if selected, they will be able to obtain one year of free use of the offices and 10,000 euros in funding.
