Do you have a great business idea?
The Entrepreneurship Center’s VentureLab is a ten-week entrepreneurial development program that helps potential entrepreneurs turn research projects into prototypes and ideas into businesses. VentureLab helps validate the product idea, develop a working prototype or model, engage with potential customers, and pitch to judges and potential investors. It’s fast, furious, hands-on, and result-driven.
