startup incubators
Business launch programs
Startup incubators are organizations that support early-stage companies by providing resources like office space, mentorship, and sometimes seed funding in exchange for equity or fees.
Unlike accelerators, which run intensive short-term programs, incubators typically offer longer-term support while founders develop their business models.
The university's startup incubator helped dozens of student ventures get off the ground.
Many tech hubs and universities host incubators to foster local entrepreneurship.
