Empowering the Next Generation of Liberal Arts Entrepreneurs
At the Halloran Lab for Entrepreneurship, we believe entrepreneurship is for everyone. It’s not just about starting a business, but developing the resilience, adaptability, and solutions-based mindset needed to solve real-world problems. Your gift today provides the “catalytic funding” that turns a student's spark of an idea into a tangible reality.
The Halloran Lab for Entrepreneurship serves as a campus-wide ecosystem where students from every major can test, refine, and launch their ideas. During True Blue, your support directly fuels our multi-stage “venture pipeline”:
- Ideation: Microgrants that allow students to validate an unmet need.
- Prototyping: Grants for teams ready to build a minimum viable product and test their value proposition.
- The Showcase: The annual Venture Showcase, where student ventures compete for significant funding to scale their impact.
The Impact Your True Blue Gift Can Have
While your gift of any size fuels excellence, here is how your contribution can make a difference:
- $25: Funds a student’s participation in a pitch preparation workshop.
- $100: Provides a “micro-seed” for a student to conduct customer discovery and market research.
- $500: Fully sponsors one Carr Ideate & Explore Grant for a new student venture.
- $1,000+: Supports the advanced mentorship and technical resources needed for students preparing for the $40,000 Venture Showcase.
