The Student Sandbox is a unique business incubator that gives aspiring student entrepreneurs the resources to make their visions a reality. The objective of the Sandbox is to accelerate the process of ideation, development and deployment through mentoring and coaching. The twelve week experiential based program has an end-goal of producing revenue generating entities or investment ready firms.
Culminating in “Demo Dayâ€, on August 18, the program provides coaching, mentoring, educational programming, physical space, access to subject matter experts and investors. A full time entrepreneur in residence guides teams through the program and serves as a coach and conduit to the community. Each team has up to five assigned mentors who are entrepreneurs, professors, technologists, subject matter experts, attorneys and accountants.
The Demo Day showcases the results of all the Student Sandbox teams’ hard work with presentations, demonstrations and a reception.
Please consider attending if you are an investor, mentor, customer, business professional, entrepreneur, professor, or interested community member. RSVP to John Liddy at john@thetechgarden.com. Free and open to the public.
