For the first time, USC’s IYA, Marshall, and Viterbi entrepreneurship communities came together in one space.

355 attendees.
54 USC communities.
1,226 connections...and growing.

Instead of just exchanging contact info, we made the connections visible.
🪪 Everyone registered an NFT card
🔗 Cards connected as people met throughout the event
🗺️ Together, those connections created a live map of USC’s entrepreneurial ecosystem

Students.
Alumni.
Founders.
Builders.
Researchers.
Creatives.
One very connected USC.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, connected with someone new, and helped us map what happens when USC’s entrepreneurial communities come together.

Fight On!
