Thought Into Action Incubator

During the year-long Thought Into Action Incubator, participants build a venture that solves a problem in the for-profit, non-profit, or campus/community arena.

The Incubator is open to first-years through seniors, as well as alumni and local community members. It begins as a year-long commitment and offers successful and motivated entrepreneurs the opportunity to continue for subsequent years. Participants develop critical thinking, powerful communication, complex problem-solving skills, and persevere through failure.

Go from “thought” into “action”

The Incubator is an intense, experiential program where entrepreneurs create a real venture. We look for would-be entrepreneurs who are passionate about solving a particular problem or challenge and have an idea for a potential solution. Through monthly workshops, mid-month check-ins, and independent work, entrepreneurs experience firsthand the process of creating something from nothing. Our entrepreneurs learn that success is the function of 1,000 small steps and that building something great does not happen overnight. 

Support your venture’s progress with funding

Ventures participating in the Incubator can apply for seed grants to accelerate their progress. These grants are intended to help teams validate their idea and business with real constituents through testing, prototyping, first production runs, and more.
