START Entrepreneurs
The START Entrepreneurs program is an integrated program that is part academic fellowship and part startup accelerator. The goal of the program is to help aspiring commercial and social entrepreneurs translate academic scholarship into highly impactful new ventures. The START program strongly encourages applications from groups that have been historically, and are presently, underrepresented in academic entrepreneurship.
Princeton Startup Bootcamp, Powered by VentureWell
VentureWell, a leading startup accelerator, provides an intensive entrepreneurial education workshop for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. If you already have an idea for a product, service or solution—that’s great, but it is not required! Sessions are held in January and June each year.
Empower 2023
Princeton University's Empower conference strives to promote diversity, equity and inclusion by celebrating and empowering academic entrepreneurs who are committed to these efforts, including those from historically underrepresented groups.
The second conference in this series, Empower 2023, will highlight and celebrate women entrepreneurs throughout academia. Empower 2023 will also feature a pitch competition.
