2017 J-Term Startup Sprint 2017


October 27, 2017

Ready to push your startup out of the blocks? Get set for a 2-week intensive program for NYU undergrads, grad students & postdocs to get funding, experiment, learn from customers, and receive expert coaching on their ventures. Have an idea, a team, or a project you’re working on which you want to turn into a startup? Lace up your sneakers, as this program will push the limits of your idea faster than you’ve ever gone before.

This coming January, the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute is offering a 10-day startup intensive program (aka a “sprint”) to help NYU undergrad, graduate, and postdoc student teams experiment, learn from customers, and receive expert coaching on their ventures along the way. If you have an idea or invention, and a team of at least two, want to start a startup, and can commit to the program full time from January 8-19, 2018, then this program is for you.

Each accepted team will be given a $350 grant to help build their product or service, along with a lot of food, legal advice and $5,000 in credits for use with Amazon Web Services. At the end of the two weeks, the two to three most promising teams will each be eligible for a $1,000-3,000 supplemental grant and will be guaranteed interviews for the 2018 NYU Summer Launchpad accelerator.
