Your big idea is ready to be put into action. But, how to you get to the next step?
Venture Jumpstart is a self-paced, modified accelerator where entrepreneurs learn about – and take – the concrete steps needed to begin their business operations.
This program is open to all CSU students, faculty/staff, alumni and the broader entrepreneurial community. You do not need to be a student to take part in this free program, but you do need to have taken Venture Validator 1.0 and Validator 2.0 before starting the jumpstart. Those programs are a building block to prepare you for success in the Jumpstart program.
The workshops are focused on providing the tools entrepreneurs need to succeed, whether that’s pre-built financial templates, industry connections, or an encouraging community here to help you navigate the complexities of launching a new business. This program is accompanied by several live workshops, and 1:1 business mentoring.
