This pre-accelerator program will provide underrepresented minorities at HBCUs (and after the future expansion, at other minority-serving institutions) with access to expert knowledge, entrepreneurship best practices, professional networks, mentorship, and additional resources. That exposure will advance the ability of underrepresented faculty and students to tap into an extensive national network and help them find product-market fit through a series of valuable real-world opportunities. EnRICH will empower under-resourced HBCUs to foster an entrepreneurial/lean startup mindset, as well as actively promote diverse perspectives and inclusive and equitable work environments. Participants will have access to a rich curriculum centered around in-depth topics relating to technology transfer and growing a sustainable business.
