Since the beginning of the school year, 275 Notre Dame students have submitted ideas to the IDEA Center.
Of these, 22 students recently applied to the Spring Student Entrepreneur Pre-Accelerator, and 12 of these student founders were chosen to participate in this program.
The IDEA Center's Pre-Accelerator provides student entrepreneurs with:
- training and resources they need to grow their business,
- structure,
- accountability,
- and access to a community of fellow student entrepreneurs.
Student entrepreneurs who are accepted into the IDEA Center's Pre-Accelerator participate in weekly programs/meetings and office hours and will have the opportunity to present their company to potential investors at the end of the program.
