Newly Restructured Incubator Program
This message has been approved by Dr. Susan Fiorito, Dean of the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship, for distribution to students, faculty and staff.
Overview
The Incubator Program’s purpose is to develop and support Florida State students interested in starting or growing a business. Services are provided at no charge to students, and they include assisting new student business owners in developing a working business model, establishing their companies, and progressing to the point of independent operations.

We have four different tracks: Discovery, Create, Innovate, and Ignite.
Discovery Track
- For students who are interested in entrepreneurship and starting a business, but don’t know where to start and want to learn more
- Offerings: workshops and one-on-one meetings
Create Track
- For students who have a business idea and may have started working on it, but need a better understanding of the ins and outs of creating a business
- This track will have a limited capacity and meet regularly, as a cohort, over two semesters with set meeting topics and assignments
- Students will graduate from this track to the Innovate Track
Innovate Track
- For students who have completed the business model canvas and need assistance on topics more specific to their business
- Individual participants will meet monthly with Student Engagement staff to go over goals and milestones
- Students will graduate from this track to the Ignite Track
Ignite Track
- For students who have an established business and need co-working space
- Students will need to submit a monthly report to continue their participation in this track
- Students can stay in this track until they graduate from FSU
