Meet the 2023 Summer Venture Program Teams
Babson’s signature Summer Venture Program (SVP) this year includes 14 teams of graduate and undergraduate students that span industries from fintech and blockchain to food & beverage and education.
SVP is a 10-week intensive experience that builds entrepreneurial skills and accelerates the development of student ventures. The teams work and collaborate in co-working spaces at the Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship and Babson Boston. One of the signature sessions of SVP is the Hot Seat, in which teams practice pitching their ventures and receive valuable, real-time feedback.
The program culminates with the Summer Venture Program Showcase on July 27 at Babson Boston, where the teams will pitch their ventures to the Babson and local startup communities.
The 2023 SVP cohort includes one B.E.T.A. Challenge finalist, one Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME) business, many members of Babson’s graduating Class of 2023, and more.
