Mission

Our mission is our north star, it should determine our pillars and rarely change

DubHacks Next is an organization committed to educating and empowering the next generation of student founders and growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem at the University of Washington.

Pillars & Goals

Our pillars are manifestations of our mission, each pillar has a vision we want to accomplish and goals that guide us to success

DubHacks Next has three key pillars: it's two tracks, Entrepreneurs in Residence and Projects, and the community around them both.

Community

Vision

Although composed of multiple tracks, everyone forms a singular Next community. Collectively, the Next community is a group of UW students passionate about technology entrepreneurship and are actively building the future they want. Our vision is that Next is the community for technology entrepreneurship at UW.

Goals

• One Community: Members interact outside of their team and track, and are invested in the singular community.
• Grow Together: Facilitate an environment where members are actively learning from each other through sharing their experiences and domains of expertise.
• Lasting Friendships: Members meet outside of scheduled times, and form friendships that far outlast our program.
• Member Owned: Members take ownership and pitch and create their own events.
• Motivating: Members are more motivated to build and share.
• Professional Development: Members are gaining experience in the areas they need to succeed.
• Exposure: Members engage with the UW/Seattle/PNW startup ecosystem.
