- Landmark University Entrepreneurship Hackathon – First Cohort
As part of the goals of the Student development office to further drive the activities of the Landmark Innovation Hub where Student Startup teams are provided with necessary knowledge on how to build their ideas, become enterprises and access funding, the Landmark Innovation Hub had its first cohort of the Landmark Entrepreneurship Hackathon sponsored by Pathfinders Martins Udotai (Co-Founder, Dinesurf) and Samuel Ogbonyomi (Co-Founder PipeOps), who had been beneficiaries of student development initiatives in time past and thought it well to give back to the system, between Friday 7th – Sunday 9th June 2024.
The hackathon which was held virtually afforded students to learn practically through sprints sessions on these areas as follows;
- Identifying Problems and Opportunities
- Market Research and Validation
- Business Model Canvas Development
- Pitching Your Idea
A total of about 24 students’ teams participated in this programme with three teams being beneficiaries of the below highlighted seed funding following their excellent pitch presentations, to enable them register their Startups with the Corporate Affairs Commission and launch thereby providing them with opportunities to attract more funding externally.
