THE CLIMB | Validate Your Idea October 15, 2026 5:00-7:00 p.m. THE CLIMB is an annual workshop series and pitch competition open to all current CU Denver students. Learn more about it here. Before investing time and money into an idea, smart entrepreneurs test whether it’s actually worth pursuing. This interactive workshop will introduce you to a range of validation methods, from understanding problem-solution fit to conducting market research and low-cost experiments. If you’re interested in competing in THE CLIMB this spring, this is the time to start brainstorming and testing your business idea(s)! Applicants to THE CLIMB are strongly encouraged to attend this new fall workshop to prepare for the spring competition. This event is open to the public and free to attend.
