This student incubator is an industry-agnostic program created specifically for student-led startups who have their prototype and initial target market selection completed. It is designed to prepare companies for launch, and to go-to-market by the end of the program.
Topics covered in this student incubator include product testing, customer validation, supply chain, and distribution logistics, marketing, fundraising, recruitment, and legal formation. The program also offers a chance to connect with mentors and industry leaders to scale and grow companies post-launch. The Cube is open to current PSU students and recent alumni.
The Cube offers a one-year experience, including:
Recruitment (Sept - Nov 2024): We have exploratory conversations with student entrepreneurs and mentors who may be able to help them meet specific business goals.
Selection & Matchmaking (Nov - Dec 2024): We carefully pair startups with mentors who align with their goals.
8-Week Sprint (Jan - Feb 2025): Intensive mentorship to help startups achieve key deliverables, such as launching products, generating sales, or preparing for investment.
Campaign Kickoff (April 2025): A celebratory event to officially launch each startup's campaign.
Post-Sprint Support (May - Dec 2025): Continued access to workspace, mentorship, and a collaborative environment at the PSBA.
