Meet the 2024 Summer Venture Program Teams

Listen

Babson’s signature Summer Venture Program (SVP) this year includes 13 teams of graduate and undergraduate students that span industries like fintech, future of work, and consumer goods.

Presented by the Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship, SVP is a 10-week intensive experience that builds entrepreneurial skills and accelerates the development of student ventures. The teams work and collaborate in the co-working space Babson Boston. Included in the extensive programming is the signature Hot Seat pitching experience, in which teams practice pitching their ventures and receive valuable, real-time feedback.

The program culminates with the Summer Venture Program Showcase on July 25 at Babson Boston, where the teams will pitch their ventures to the Babson and local startup communities.

The 2024 SVP cohort includes one B.E.T.A. Challenge winner, two members of the 2024 WIN Lab Entrepreneurs, and many members of Babson’s graduating Class of 2024, and more.
