Join us in welcoming the 2019 Summer Startup Sprint cohort!
This Summer, the Startup Sprint will offer NYU teams the opportunity to get funding and test the value of their potential solutions. The Sprint is a 2-week customer discovery and mentorship intensive.
The Startup Sprint is designed to support those who have an idea, perhaps formed a team, or have a project they’ve been working on. Through this intensive, NYU entrepreneurs can begin to really build out their startups. Perks of the program include:
- A $350 grant, plus an opportunity for select teams to receive up to $1,500 in additional funding
- $5,000 credit from Amazon Web Services
- Legal guidance from Fenwick + West
- 1:1 coaching from expert mentors
- Lots of startup skills workshops
- 24/7 co-working space at the Leslie eLab
- And much more!
We are thrilled to welcome and work with these teams this summer!
