Used Ai data scrapers to pick out ~3,000 out of 16,000 potential startups for our program. Our team of scouts further cut down this number to a few hundred through efficient research methods. With a couple hundred remaining, we implemented a strict due diligence process and further evaluated these companies. Created cold email and message templates using an AI platform. By entering a company name, Website url, and LinkedIn profile, I was able to draft a 100 word, highly personalized message in a matter of seconds. Participated in preliminary interviews with startups before sending them to Startupbootcamp's managing directors for further evaluation. Largely assisted with the presentation of startups to our Corporate partners MLA (Meat & Livestock Australia) and Hort Innovation.

We select 10 companies to run through our bootcamp, giving them pitch training, funding, and professional partners to work with. 77% of new businesses that are fortunate enough to partner with start-up bootcamp are still running today.

Drafted comprehensive plans in order to draw a larger audience to Division 1 sports games at the University of Utah.
