The 49er Foundry Incubator Program is UNC Charlotte's student idea incubator program to help students launch and grow innovative ideas and ventures. With a new co-working space in PORTAL, student entrepreneurs have a collective, creative space to work and meet.
Open to all UNC Charlotte students, the Undergraduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship aims to satisfy the increasing societal demand for skill sets related to entrepreneurship, such as being able to recognize and evaluate opportunities or knowing how to create and communicate a vision.
Ventureprise Launch is designed for both UNC Charlotte students, faculty, and staff as well as community startups. Ventureprise Launch is best described as a boot-camp for innovators and is designed to challenge participants at every turn.
