Launchpad@Stevens is a 12-month program that provides Stevens students with the opportunity to learn entrepreneurship and innovation by working with real-world entrepreneurs in building new technology-based businesses.
Launchpad@Stevens kicks off in the spring semester each year with a preparatory meeting where students learn how to identify ideas with potential commercial viability and the steps involved in building a startup.
Working with Launchpad@Stevens Director, Dr. Mukundan Iyengar or entrepreneurs from the community, the students create teams to implement their business idea and create a viable business.
