What is the Nest program?

Are you interested in entrepreneurship, but don’t know where to start? Nest is the perfect place for you. Throughout this condensed, hybrid experience, the Innovation Hub helps aspiring entrepreneurs learn about identifying passion spaces and creating solutions.  Learn the lingo associated with the space, see if running a business or starting a company could be right for you. Preview information online, join sessions in the Innovation Hub and chat with student founders and mentors who have run businesses in the past.  Nest provides a comfortable environment for you to learn about entrepreneurship and what it takes. Explore your passions, consider a side hustle, think about problems that exist which your might want to solve, and determine if you want to start on the adventure of solving one or more of those problems.

Remember to add the Crunch Startup Weekend event on Nov 15-17 to your schedule. This is a great weekend to meet new people exploring entrepreneurship and apply what you learned in NEST. See if being an entrepreneur is really for you.
