About this event
Event Description
As a student eager to turn your entrepreneurial dreams into reality, navigating the world of securing funding for your business is a crucial step. Learning about funding options tailored to students can open doors to resources that fuel your innovative ideas. Whether exploring grants, scholarships, or startup competitions specific to student entrepreneurs, understanding the criteria and application processes is essential. Additionally, tapping into university resources, entrepreneurial networks, and mentorship programs can provide valuable insights and connections that may lead to financial support. Embracing this learning journey will not only enhance your business acumen but also empower you to transform your academic passion into a flourishing entrepreneurial venture.

About the Workshops
The CEI sponsors programming throughout the year focused on entrepreneurial learning and growth. Our weekly thinkUBator Workshop series has one goal: to provide CEI member companies with the knowledge and resources they need — access to seed capital, finding potential partners, hiring employees, marketing do’s and don’ts, etc. — to transform their big ideas into a big deal, as quickly as possible.
