Helping entrepreneurs navigate the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Start Studio Discovery is our most accessible tech program and the entry point for entrepreneurs with tech ideas. Emerging founders work with entrepreneurs-in-residence and anthropologists who serve as customer discovery specialists to conduct customer discovery. The intensive idea validation process allows the entrepreneurs’ tech-based business idea to be tested in the real world. Start Studio Discovery consists of online workshops/meetings, individualized coaching to help participants validate their ideas, and a culminating showcase where a panel of judges and the community can vote for the best pitch presentation.
