Undergraduate & Graduate Student Welcome! “Global Silicon Valley (GSV) is a growth-based investment platform that focuses on identifying the stars of tomorrow. GSV’s founder, Michael Moe, was an early investor in many Silicon Valley successes like Starbucks, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, Dropbox, and Coursera. During his time in Silicon Valley, he founded the ASU + GSV Education Technology Summit (https://www.asugsvsummit.com/), which has turned into the leading summit in this sector, attracting speakers and guests like President Obama, President Bush, and Bill Gates. This will be the EdTech Summit’s 14th year, churning over $2 million in profit and priceless networking opportunities. As part of this, GSV hosts a pitch competition for startups to showcase their ideas live at the ASU + GSV Summit. We decided to bring this same model to Texas! This May, GSV will be hosting our first “Mission Summit” - a gathering of 500 business leaders and entrepreneurs who all believe in our thesis: that the business ideas of tomorrow will have the ambition of a for-profit and the heart of a non-profit. In conjunction with the Mission Summit, we are launching the Texas Cup (a pitch competition for college-aged entrepreneurs). The finalists of the Texas Cup will have the opportunity to present their pitch live at the Mission Summit! Every participant will receive free resources to help them refine their pitch, a free ticket to the Mission Summit, and the chance to join the network of mission-minded entrepreneurs. Join us!"
