What You'll Learn
NextGen Founders Lab sessions run weekly on Saturdays from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM MT, from September to June. You'll join a fixed cohort, building connections and focused momentum as you develop your startup solo or with a team.
Problem Discovery
Talk to real users, validate problems, and test assumptions early.
Design & Prototyping
Apply design thinking to rapidly prototype and iterate on solutions.
Venture Foundations
Build the fundamentals of a startup, from idea to minimum viable product.
No Equity Taken. Ever.
We provide mentorship, resources, and guidance — without taking any ownership of your venture.
Belong to Something Extraordinary.
Your cohort becomes a close-knit group of ambitious student founders — and you’ll join a broader community of mentors, founders, and alumni who are building real companies and backing the next generation.
