Power Hour Network Origins

A story about how an underground college entrepreneurship network called Power Hour was started by Bobby Feierhausle.

Sam Parr explains: "Two years ago we had this guy named Bobby on. Bobby gathered like this group of maybe 15 entrepreneurs and 4 of them pitched us and they were awesome. Bobby has fight-clubbed this thing and gone out from university to university to convince you guys to join on."

Tommy Potter adds: "Bobby started this and it's been planting around. At UIUC and Michigan, we're very deep in our partnership. We're Power Hour, which is the CIA for college entrepreneurship. You don't know who we are, you don't know where we meet - we are this underground society of handpicked killer founders. Just like the CIA, we let you know individually where we're going to be meeting."

The group operates completely student-run, with no faculty involvement, organizing pitch competitions between universities like Michigan and UIUC, bringing together rooms of 65+ student entrepreneurs at each location.
