Help Discover the Next Snapchat: Apply to Shadow General Catalyst

Help discover the next Snapchat. Apply to shadow General Catalyst for a day.

What do Snapchat, Warby Parker, and ClassPass have in common? Top Venture Capital firm General Catalyst has invested $3 billion total in these tech startups, and many, many more. Now one lucky college student will win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend a day with Spencer Lazar, a Harvard graduate and General Catalyst investor who paved the way for ClassPass, Fundbox, and – yours truly – WayUp.

You will learn what it takes for investors to believe in (and invest in) a young business, sit in on a startup pitch to see how entrepreneurs think — and you’ll even get the opportunity to have lunch with Spencer and pitch your own business idea to increase your chances of success. You will have a seat at the table with one of the biggest investors in the country, so make sure you bring all your big ideas with you!

“The hardest part of being an entrepreneur is not predicting the future, but timing it. My mission is to identify and support founders who have an astounding sense for where we are in history, coupled with the courage and talent to will a vision into existence.” – Spencer Lazar

We’re accepting applications from now until February 20th, so apply today for your chance to Shadow General Catalyst for a day! You must be from the tri-state area with a background in Computer Science and Entrepreneurship.

If you don’t win this incredible opportunity we have several more Shadow for a Day competitions coming up with some companies you’ll be sure to recognize. Stay tuned!
