Mentorship is one of the most essential factors in the success of an entrepreneur (or career seeker). The right mentor shares their network and experience to help founders launch their companies. But how and where do you find a mentor? What should a founder expect from a mentor?

11:15am – 12:15pm    Cultivating your Network and Building your Personal Brand– Voltron room

While having a college degree is great, having a great personal brand can make all the difference in a young person’s career.

Panelist:  Moby Hayat

12:30pm – 1:30pm      Gaining Traction with no Money – Devvie room

Startup founders tend to obsess over finding investors to give them money or brilliant coders to build their apps. The truth is that no investor or coder will hitch their wagon to a founder with no traction.

So what is a founder to do? This session is all about how a founder can gain traction with no money and no software developer.

Panelist: Rafael Barroso, Katie Stephens, Donovan Becker

12:30pm – 1:30pm       Career Planning Workshop with Dr. Chela White-Ramsey – Voltron room

2:30pm – 3:30pm        Building Culture from Day Zero – Voltron room

Startup culture gets either ignored by founders, or buried in the quest to find paying customers, get an MVP built, or find an investor.

Over the last few years however, we’ve seen startups like Uber, Theranos, and Fyre suffer huge consequence due to poor or toxic company culture.

This session is all about how you as a founder (or even an early hire) can create a culture focused on growth and wellness, while avoiding a culture vacuum where toxic elements can quietly grow and fester.

Panelist:  Tony Aguilar, David Daeschler, Vi Nguyen

2:30pm – 3:30pm         Getting the Job: tips and tricks from people who hire  – Devvie room

In this session, people who do hiring will talk about how you can prepare yourself, as well as the things to do, and things to avoid before, during, and after an interview.

Panelist: Nick Hahn, Andy Keil, Sean Duffy

We all wish there was a magical formula for staying with our deep mission of being self-employed. However, if this magical formula existed, the entire world would be filled with successful business owners.

It’s truly a much deeper and wider game and there are 2 main pieces to the gameboard that you must have to stay with your business.

Panelist: Jen Schultz

6:00pm – 8:00pm         University of Awesome & Dinner – Voltron room

University of Awesome is a live 3DS parody in which we will throw you onto a team to concoct a truly dreadful idea for a startup, toss together a deck, then pitch to the masses for a quick and dirty series A.

Day 3 of the 3DS Global Roundup will be fully participant-driven in the style of an “unconference.”. Attendees will host workshops, talks, fun outings, or other educational sessions at Capital Factory or throughout the city of Austin.

Sessions can be just about anything and do not need to be restricted to a startup or career focus, or even be educational. On day 3 you might participate in a scavenger hunt, jump into Barton Springs after a yoga lesson, learn how to bake sourdough bread, hear ideas on how to break up with your device, make your own beer, get guitar lessons, or share world travel disaster stories.

Proposed sessions so far include:

• Intellectual Property with Shah IP Law
• Brew Day at the Plexbräuhaus 
• The Future of 3DS (Apply here) 
• A Brand Identity is More Than Marketing 
• Foreign-born Entrepreneurs Gathering 
• Skin In the Game: Sales On Day 1  
• Bites of Life as an Entrepreneur 

If you’re interested in organizing an unconference gathering, you can fill out the form here. As we confirm sessions, we’ll post them on the agenda for attendees to see what they’d like to do. You can then sign up for these sessions in our Facebook group. Feel free to reach out if you have ideas on how to make our first unconference day a success!
