Taking a startup from idea to reality is a daunting process. The Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship’s Jones + Foster Accelerator, now in its fifth year, helps student-led startups navigate that process with six-months of mentoring from Seattle entrepreneurs and investors, a framework for defining measurable milestones, guidance in achieving those milestones, and the opportunity to earn up to $25,000 in follow-on funding.
The Jones Progress Awards support graduating Seattle University students and recent alums in ramping up their new businesses by providing a solid infrastructure of mentoring, grant funds, and connections within the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The Herbert B. Jones Foundation has provided a generous grant to the Albers Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center (IEC) to seed the first series of awards. The IEC welcomes sponsors that want to fund additional teams.
