Benefits of the program
Gain professional skills
College graduates are ill prepared for the professional world. Our fellows get the opportunity to develop their professional skills by being immersed in an environment that exposes them to real world projects and working with cross functional teams.
Startup experience
The successful commercialization of innovation requires a distinct set of skills and experience. Our fellows are directly involved in the ideation and startup creation process gaining first hand experience on how to effectively validate ideas and create startups.
Professional Marketability
The studio experience places our fellows on a promising career path. Upon emerging from the studio our fellows are extremely attractive to prospective employers. It is a powerful way to differentiate themselves with hiring managers while providing them the confidence and credibility in the job search process.
Be part of a founding team
The opportunity exists for fellows to be part of founding a startup. Should the project they are working on develop into a startup they fellows are eligible to equity consideration in the company.
