Do you have an idea for a new business, but don’t know where to start?

Idea to Entrepreneur is a FREE program that provides the mindset, tools, and network needed to grow your idea from “seed” to “startup”. Starting with a kickoff bootcamp and culminating in a final pitch event, I2E is designed to give new founders an “on ramp” to entrepreneurship.

Program Outline

The program kicks off with an in-person bootcamp led by Chris Heivly (author of Build the Fort, co-founder of Mapquest) that covers start basics from lean methodology to your mindset approach. Then, participants will receive a free 3-month Coworking Membership at the AU with a curated curriculum of office hours, educational workshops, and networking opportunities. Finally, the program will conclude with a closing event and (optional) pitch competition at a happy hour event.

What will you receive?

• In-person 1.5-day kickoff bootcamp with Chris Heivly on August 4/5
• Weekly 1-on-1 conversations with business experts and experience entrepreneurs
• Curated curriculum of office hours, educational sessions, and networking opportunities
• Closing event with opportunity to pitch your business to the startup community
• Free 3-month Coworking Membership at the AU

Please note: The initial Bootcamp sets the stage for the program, and so attendance is mandatory to unlock the additional program curriculum and benefits. The remaining events are optional but encouraged.

No experience necessary!

This workshop is specifically geared towards first-time founders at the “idea stage” of your entrepreneurial journey. All you need is an idea, and the motivation to build something from it.
