Programs That Work Together


The programs are designed as a system. Students who combine them produce work that is more substantial than any single program delivers on its own.

RESEARCH
AI PRODUCT LAUNCH

Investigate a problem academically, then build a product around what you find. The research validates the problem. The app is the solution. Students who do both arrive at the build phase with a level of subject-matter depth most product teams do not have.

AI PRODUCT LAUNCH
ENTREPRENEURSHIP STUDIO

Build the product, then build the business around it. Entrepreneurship Studio’s build phase advances the product developed in AI Product Launch, with the remaining sessions shifting to market validation, financial modeling, and go-to-market strategy. The result is a launched product with a documented business case behind it.

RESEARCH
ENTREPRENEURSHIP STUDIO

Investigate a problem with academic rigor, then build a business around what you find. The research answers whether the problem is real and well-documented before any venture development begins — a stronger foundation than most adult founders have. Well suited to students in health, policy, or any domain where credibility depends on evidence.

RESEARCH
AI PRODUCT LAUNCH
ENTREPRENEURSHIP STUDIO

The full arc. A student who completes all three leaves with a research paper, a live product, and a validated venture. The research informs the product, the product tests the research, and the business layer validates whether any of it has a market.
