LAUNCH YOUR FUTURE

Through workshops, sessions with experienced mentors, weekly pitches, and lectures, the Startup Incubator Summer Track aims to drive the startup process for students, while increasing their startups' chance for success. Once a week, teams will meet to discuss their progress in meeting milestones, as well as learn about other key Business Model Canvas concepts. Participants will have access to industry partners that can coach them on accounting, taxes, IP, and funding issues.
