INVITE: Apply Now for Morningside Incubator
We are very pleased to announce the formation of a new co-working, incubator space for this summer, Columbia Entrepreneurs Lab (CEL), located on the Morningside campus. If you are committed to entrepreneurship we encourage you to apply.
CEL will host up to 30 individuals or about 15 to 20 teams. This is a dedicated co-working environment offered free of charge to admitted entrepreneurs. It is the aim of this incubator to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship across campus by providing practical resources and mentorship to burgeoning Columbia entrepreneurs who are committed to their ventures.
Application Requirements:
- CEL applicants may apply as individuals or as formed teams. Space will only be supplied for up to three members per team.
- You must apply with at least a well-articulated business plan if not a prototype or minimal viable product.
- All teams must include at least one currently enrolled student (undergraduate or graduate) who will be returning to campus during the 2013-14 academic year.
- In addition to the one currently enrolled team member, seats in the incubator can only be offered to team members with a Columbia affiliation (i.e. student, alumnus or staff).
- The details of the program are being finalized but CEL members will be expected to meet with mentors, define and report in on milestones, work full-time on their ventures, make significant progress and offer something back to the other teams in the program.
Please visit here to apply. Applications are due Wednesday, April 24 at 5 p.m.
If you have questions, please submit to Ashley Zwick az2335@columbia.edu and Chris McGarry cm3014@columbia.edu.
