StartIAP is a 4-week accelerator designed for student teams who want to try the experience of working on a startup full time, building out all aspects of a new business to the extent possible in the space of one month.
During these four weeks, students will be introduced to key concepts and skills that will help them succeed as entrepreneurs in a series of workshops and assignments. They will practice these skills on their own projects, and will report their progress to their cohort in peer check-in sessions. They can sign up for coaching sessions with highly experienced entrepreneurs and mentors to get feedback and suggestions on their venture.
Teams will also have dedicated space in the Trust Center, access to an unlimited supply of ramen noodles and coffee, and will be given access to labs around campus to further develop their products and companies.
At the end of the four-week period, teams will have built a startup from concept to business in four weeks. We will wrap up the program with a TechStars style Demo Day.
