Thinking about a new product or business?
Idea generation is the start to your entrepreneurial journey, where new ideas are created. Researchers, inventors, and founders in this stage do not yet have a defined market opportunity and little-to-no funding.
We love collaborating with innovators in this exciting stage! On campus, you have access to several incubators including The Basement at the Design and Innovation Building. At the Basement, you can apply for a formalized program or have casual meetups during open hours. In addition, there are opportunities to work on teams or take courses that introduce the basics of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Below you'll find our carefully curated programs and resources to help you through the challenges of this stage. If you have questions or you'd like to get connected you with one of these resources, please get in touch and let us know.
