Student Mission
During a year long process, students receive weekly mentoring and teaching from both the executive director and local professionals. Students are trained in the various disciplines involved with early stage business development, from intellectual property to market analysis and strategy to writing a business plan. While receiving this training, students work in teams to evaluate and develop business opportunities based on real technologies coming out of the labs at The University of Utah. The result is an unparalleled real world education in technology entrepreneurship that will create future leaders in the high tech industry.
