Purdue startup events
Startup events for Purdue builders
BuildPurdue runs events, working sessions, and cohort programming for Purdue students who want to move from idea to launch with other people building around them.
What to look for
Nightshift coworking
Open working sessions for Purdue students who want to sit down, open the laptop, and build around other founders and builders.
Founder workshops
Sessions focused on customer discovery, launching, growth, fundraising basics, product thinking, and the early work student founders actually need.
Cohort programming
More structured accountability for student founders and teams accepted into the BuildPurdue cohort.
How to use the events
Do not just attend passively. Bring a customer list, a prototype, a question, or a specific problem you are trying to solve that week. The best startup events create progress before the night ends.
