College Entrepreneurship Development Program
A 90-day startup-building journey for students of any discipline.
What is College Entrepreneurship Development Program?
The College Entrepreneurship Development Program is a 90-day program for undergraduate and postgraduate students of any discipline, moving through five phases — Discover, Design, Develop, Deliver and Demonstrate — and ending with an Investor Pitch Day. Students leave with a validated idea, MVP, pitch deck, financial model and entrepreneurship certification.
The program takes students from problem discovery to a working venture in five phases: Discover (entrepreneurship, problems, market opportunities), Design (customer profiles, business models, product strategy), Develop (prototype, MVP, branding, pricing), Deliver (launch, marketing, finance, pitching) and Demonstrate (final presentation and Investor Pitch Day).
High-performing students enter the QuickStartup Hub incubation and accelerator pipeline.
