Blank Center Launches Summer Venture Program

Selected students working to develop their entrepreneurial ventures over the summer will be part of a pilot program geared toward accelerating their new venture.

For the first time, a 10-week summer intensive for student entrepreneurs at Babson is being launched. For selected students, the program will provide work space, mentors, speakers, resources, and a demo day at the conclusion to present to professional investors.

Twenty-three teams were selected from the undergraduate and graduate community. The companies range from developing rooftop greenhouses to developing web technology that changes the way consumers shop online to developing a software tool designed specifically for the middle school context that stimulates personalized student learning.
