Business Builders 2019

The Business Builders at The Ohio State University are hoping to bring our members out to San Francisco to meet the startup gurus of Silicon Valley. Your donations will help sponsor the trips of 14 individuals to make the trip more affordable. We believe this opportunity is invaluable and we want to make this a possibility for members every year. As a reward to those who have been fostering Columbus's startup ecosystem, only the most involved members within the club will be going. We have reserved housing for a trip during Spring break from March 7th to the 11th. We want to cover a lot while we are out there and through our connections we will be touring everyone from the biggest tech giants to the entrepreneurs still grinding it out at stage 1. On top of that, we would love to have a night to meet all of you who are out on the west coast! Please contact Christian Barrett if you'd be interested in helping us out on the west coast in ways other than donations!

Your donations go directly to a fund within Fisher that we can withdraw from on a receipt basis. We take accountability very seriously and we want you to know exactly how your money will be used.

Your money will go directly towards funding the airfare and transportation of our members. We want to keep the out of pocket expenses as low as possible for our members but we need your help to do it! This wouldn't be possible without your generosity and we can't wait to get out and change the world like you have. We are incredibly proud to claim you as part of the BBC Mafia.

Thank you,

The Business Builders Team
