GRADUATION & SHOWCASE [MAY]
At our Frontiers Event, graduating startups will have the opportunity to network with and showcase their work to the NYC entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Our mentors are leaders in their fields, and work hand-in-hand with our startups to set realistic goals and achieve results. They’re driven by our mission to support our founders as they impact society through science and technology.
Our startups build relationships with investors and venture capitalists through their mentors and EFL events throughout the course of the nine-month program. They’re able to identify opportunities for growth and set a realistic fundraising strategy.
Through your relationships with your mentor and the NYU community, you’ll connect with business leaders and top scientists in your field that you can turn to for guidance and advice as you hone your vision and set strategic goals.
Our program is designed to help our startups achieve concrete results. By working closely with mentors, Stern MBA students, and EFL staff, our founders will develop a strategic development plan to raise funds and scale quickly.
You’ll have access to our internal Endless Frontier Labs team for guidance, resources, and support throughout the duration of the program (and beyond). We can help with identifying opportunities, moving past roadblocks, and charting a path forward.
