Designing a Resource for Student Entrepreneurs at Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Public

Despite Worcester Polytechnic Institute's (WPI) innovative culture, students lack a clear understanding of available resources for their business endeavors. We launched Gompei's Goat Cheese as a precedent for student-led ventures and detailed resources used and the obstacles faced. It became clear that the university could benefit from a comprehensive resource that detailed key components of launching a venture at WPI. We developed such a resource, Student Startup Outline, and tested its value and effectiveness through focus groups, which led to its revision.

This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review.
