Program overview
The Incubator program provides a collaborative environment where students with a passion for building and launching a new business can meet other student founders, validate their business hypothesis, explore possible customer segments, identify early adopters and test potential solutions.
Students in the incubator who have worked through the various aspects of their startup including problem validation, launching an Initial Product Release (IPR) and finding early adopters are then well positioned to apply to follow on programs from the Apex Center such as the Venture Founders program.
The workload in the Incubator program is self-directed, and keys to success include attendance at weekly programs led by the Apex Center and forming a team to help move your concept forward.
