From Vision to Venture: Incubator Phase 3

From Vision to Venture: Incubator Phase 3

The E-Hub Incubator Program Cohort (2025–26) began with 31 teams at Kick-off, launching their ventures with early-stage support and validation. In Phase 1, 17 teams advanced and each received $1,000 in seed funding to continue building and refining their ideas. These teams moved forward to Phase 2, where they pitched for $3,000 in funding and 9 teams were selected to receive that next level of support.

The program culminated in Phase 3, where 8 teams pitched for $10,000 in seed funding.  In addition to funding, several teams were recognized with further growth opportunities, including  access to CIC, expert hours through TopTal, nominations to national competitions such as the Hult Prize, and invitations to closed-door practice pitch sessions with angel investors. These additional pathways ensure that multiple ventures continue progressing beyond the final round. Through each stage, the Incubator provided structured progression, funding, mentorship, and real-world preparation to help student ventures move from concept to scalable opportunity.
