Our end goal is to create in institute for Cal's Aspiring Entrepreneurs. It is a 2 part project. An "undergraduate" program for those who want to step their toes into entrepreneurship. The "graduate" program will be an accelerator incubator to help studens start, launch, and scale the projects within 2 months. More info to be announced.
