Organization:Team Eureka

Overview

Team Eureka works on strategies to help students advance their early ideas, providing the nurturing and support needed to validate and strengthen ideas, create physical prototypes, conduct customer development, build a team, secure intellectual property, and/or attract seed funding. A vital stage in the life of university-based ventures, the extent to which innovators are supported and real commercialization opportunities are cultivated is a determining factor in the vibrancy of the innovation ecosystem.
