Startup Event March 28 - 30, 2025

Dayton Start Up

A startup event record covering the first project launch, team collaboration, early concept work, and pitch competition experience.

We launched a small project and collaborated with a team of talented, similar goal-oriented individuals, including junior engineers and two partners from Florida who run an agricultural recycling organization: Global Sustainable Product, Inc.

During the event, we worked together to create a conceptual prototype for our first demonstration as well as coconut brick prototype, conducted research on recycling coconut waste and natural binders on paper, explored market opportunities, and refined our ideas through mentorship, trial and error, and networking.

Thanks to the guidance and support from mentors and peers, we gained invaluable experience in collaboration, entrepreneurship, and innovation. We also participated in a pitch competition, placing 4th out of 11 teams.
