When I talk about innovation or entrepreneurship, it’s about bringing out what we do here as fundamental research into the real world. Princeton is part of that world. And we have a responsibility to make sure that the discoveries made here can make a difference.”
—Rodney Priestley, Vice Dean for Innovation
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. Apply by Jan. 2, 2022.
Princeton Startup Bootcamp, Powered by VentureWell
VentureWell, a leading startup accelerator, will provide 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! The Jan. 2022 session is closed but check back for more opportunities.
