In addition to the resources that the Sandbox provides for students in terms of space, programs, and mentorship, we also have connections with several avenues to raise the capital to help your startup get off the ground.

Student teams have had success both locally and nationally whether they\’ve competed in pitch or business plan competitions, networking with angel investors and venture capital, or bootstrapping and crowdfunding their ventures.
