Saunders and Cohen say they hope the fair will appeal both to students who want to start their own businesses and those interested in working for a start-up, either as a career or an internship.
"There's something for everyone-- both budding entrepreneurs and people who want to work for them," Saunders says.
She says she hopes the event will help convey the notion that start-up companies do not necessarily have to be computer-oriented.
"People think start-ups must be Internet related," she says. "Instead, we [define start-ups] as companies that are between zero and five years old. They are not necessarily technology dependent."
Although the event will feature mostly for-profit "dot-com" Internet companies, it will also include online "dot-org" service organizations, and even companies that are not technology- based at all.
But even in those companies that are technology-related, Cohen says there is plenty of room for individuals without computer skills.
"They think 'Oh no, I'm not a [computer science] major,'" Cohen says. "But there are no limitations there."
