The Nation's Top College Startup's Are Here

We spent the entire month of October traveling across the entire United States in search of the best and brightest college startups and brought them to our RECESS Field Trip to impress the LA startup community. Watch 5 of the top college startups pitch their innovative ideas to some of the biggest VC's & Investors in the world. Complimentary bar & appetizers will be provided.


The Field Trip isn’t just a prize, it’s a launchpad. It’s where opportunities unfold and things get real. Top college startups receive a three-day, all-expenses paid excursion to Los Angeles to talk strategy with mentors, pick the brains of industry giants, and pitch some of the biggest VC's & Investors in the world. The stage just doesn’t get any bigger than this.
