The WittEntrepreneurs Program is open to Witt students from any field of study.
Mutual support is what we’re all about. If you need help, we hope you’ll ask. If you have something to offer, we hope you will.
All WittEntrepreneurs students have full access to the program’s equipment and facilities.
We provide pre-launch business planning and start-up coaching – from peers and advisors.
Student entrepreneurs may request grant funding for specific, essential equipment or expenses.
Our low hurdle launch platform for new or recent start-ups is designed to support a maximum number of student-launched ventures.
We will help student entrepreneurs anticipate and plan for their transition following graduation from Wittenberg.
Expectations
All students can participate in the WittEntrepreneurs Program. Once you reach your junior year, you may apply to launch a venture of your own through the program.
A helping culture – students are expected to support the program and peers before and after launching their own venture.
Collaboration and communication – routine focus groups allow everyone to share and learn from the experiences of others.
Continuous learning – we set goals and milestones and consistently assess our performance, growth and future prospects.
We recognize that the path to success is rarely a straight line.
Accountability
We bring our values to work and we honor the commitments we make – and we expect everyone we work with to do the same.
We celebrate our successes and learn from our failures. We love to create and experiment with ideas.
Honest feedback – we speak the truth to each other even when it stings, but always with the goal of helping.
We are determined to succeed, but also committed to recognizing when it is time to change course.
Each student-owned venture will be supported by an advisory board responsible for periodic performance review and ongoing guidance throughout their involvement with the WittEntrepreneurs Program.
