Broadening the reach across schools & sectors

University of Southern California

How did University of Southern California achieve the trifecta of successful events, competitions, and mentorship?

"One of the main goals of the Social Venture Coaching Competition is to find the best ideas and brightest entrepreneurs from across the university. StartupTree has allowed us to attract the attention of students and alumni who are engaging on the platform for other reasons. As a result, our applicant pool has broadened to include more departments, schools and sectors."

“StartupTree is an excellent system. I built a similar platform for a non-profit grant program a few years ago and I’m a fan of how StartupTree centralizes all of the USC programming to allow for a cross-pollination of ideas and expertise.”

ONE KEY TAKEAWAY: Give members opportunities to engage

StartupTree is as good as the programming provided. By getting into the mind of students and alums, USC provides a clear value proposition for users to engage with the platform throughout the year.
