Ohio State is rich with driven creators and change-makers with an ever-expanding interest in entrepreneurship. The Best of Student Startups (BOSS) program supports this community with interactive workshops culminating in a business competition.
BOSS is a critical part of the Keenan Center's continuum of student programming. The program focuses on supporting the transformation of ideas into sustainable businesses, particularly emphasizing the customer discovery phase. In interactive workshops, participants define customer segments, articulate a value proposition, and conduct customer discovery interviews. Participation in BOSS is encouraged for students interested in advancing to the President's Buckeye Accelerator Boost Camp.
