Penn State Startup Week 2026

Most companies don't fail due to a lack of vision; they fail due to a lack of traction. They fall into the "Execution Gap"; the space between a brilliant strategy and the daily reality of getting things done. Join Asher Carr, a Penn State Alumni and experienced operations strategist, for a high-impact "Masterclass in Momentum." Drawing on years of experience scaling operations for real estate teams and tech companies, this session will strip away the complexity of scaling. You won't just sit and listen; you’ll plan and build. Participants will walk through a "Crash Course" on the Vision / Traction Organizer (V/TO), learning how to turn 10-year targets into actionable 90-day "Rocks."

Attendees will leave with:
● A "Battle-Tested" framework for 10X year-over-year growth.
● A draft of their own two-page business plan (V/TO).
● The discipline to bridge the gap between "Vision" and "Execution."
● Bonus: Exclusive early access to Forte’s mental fitness beta platform
