Want to become an entrepreneur, launch a new business, or grow your startup venture? As you may know, here at your alma mater, we run an entrepreneurship incubation program for current students and alumni. We offer free entrepreneurship coaching, mentoring, training, guest speakers, focus groups, investor pitching, networking, and office space.
During this Summer 2021 semester due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all our support to student and alumni entrepreneurs remains online (except two in person events). Every week this summer we hold open coaching (Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays), mentoring (Thursdays and Fridays), training (Tuesdays and Thursdays), focus groups (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays), prospective customer surveying (Saturdays), and guest speakers (Tuesdays and Fridays).
