After pitching the committee yesterday, Hydros Bottle was selected to participate in the Wharton Venture Initiation Program! From their website:
VIP is an educational program managed by Wharton Entrepreneurial Programs which assists University of Pennsylvania students as they guide their business concept from idea to implementation.
Under the program’s guidance, students develop their ventures through the real-world experience of executing the initial stages of their ventures. While in VIP students become part of an entrepreneurial community that provides office space and administrative tools as well as a support system of fellow VIP members and professional advising.
This is an exciting step for us at Hydros Bottle and we look forward to working alongside other VIP startups.
After the first round of voting, Hydros Bottle was selected as a semifinalist in Dell’s competition! We’d like to thank all of our supporters who voted and commented on our submission.
