    I am looking for team members. Is there a way I can connect with people here? How?
    Yes, check our Need it/Got it Wall. You can ask for a sticker to add to it at the front desk.

    I have an idea, but I don’t know how to start planning. What do I do?
    Book an appointment with the Startup Coaching Program.

    Do you have events where I can learn how to program/develop something?
    Check out the Startup School workshop series, which we run and update every semester.

    How can I use the laser cutter/3D printer?
    You can use the laser cutter and 3D printer after completing a Prototyping Lab training. After your training, the prototyping lab guardian will often be present to help you out. What you print/cut must be directly relevant to a business idea or project.

    Can I print at the Leslie eLab?
    No, the Leslie eLab is going green. Please visit Bobst Library or the Academic Resource Center for printing.

    I’m in an entrepreneurial club and would like to reserve a room to host a meeting/event. How do I do that?
    If you collaborate with another entrepreneurial club through the NYU Entrepreneurs Network (NYUEN), we will ensure your event has a reserved space, promote your event on our website, and even help sponsor the event through the Collaboration Fund.

    I’m interested in filming and holding an audition. Can I do that at the Leslie eLab?
    No. However, our friendly neighbor, the Production Lab, will take your request. The NYU Production Lab is a creative content incubator that helps the next generation design and launch thriving careers in creative industries through programming, experiential learning, and financial investment.
