ºÚÁÏÍø

This is not a typical student program. It is an incubator for student-led startups. To enter the program, undergraduate and graduate students must have first completed the ideation phase of innovation by either:

• Participating in one of ºÚÁÏÍø’s innovation classes;
• Conducting innovation-related research; or
• Completing a senior design project or capstone in a related field.

After this, students can either apply for the program or a faculty member/advisor might suggest an entrepreneurial path to students whose ideas show tremendous potential. It is a competitive program where only the best applicants and teams will be selected.

For more information contact Dr. Robert Rippee at Robert.Rippee@unlv.edu.

Once accepted to the program, the students will be instructed over a 8 module/week curriculum on how to take their team to the minimum viable product (MVP) or prototype stage.

Following this incubation phase, students and their teams should be ready to apply for an accelerator program or begin fundraising activities to scale their business.
