Post a startupFunding and Equity
The May 7, 2026 announcement says EpicenterU years three and four include selected fellows receiving $40,000 annual stipends and up to $7,500 in company development funds. The announcement does not say the university takes equity. Year one is described as program development and campus launch, so those fellow awards are planned, not a currently open prize.
Recent Activity
