Tech Venture Support Program
Welcome to the Tech Venture Support Program!
What is the Tech Venture Support Program?
As part of its Innovation and Entrepreneurship Concentration, the Martin Tuchman School of Management operates the Tech Venture Support Program (TVSP) in which graduate students deliver strategically valuable work products to technology startups.
Previous TVSP deliverables have included:
- Financial Projections
- Business Plans
- SBIR Proposals
- Crowdfunding Campaigns
- Primary Market Research (focus groups and surveys)
The TVSP offers participating students the opportunity to
- make a tangible positive impact in the regional startup community,
- learn directly from community stakeholders including startup founders,
- grow their professional network, and
- three credits (MGMT680 “Entrepreneurial Strategy”) toward their degree.
New ventures with prototypes or well-defined concepts are encouraged to apply by the start of the semester (by September 5 or January 10). Investors are also encouraged to recommend companies in their portfolios that would benefit from TVSP. TVSP is free to startups, and lasts three months during which time NJIT graduate students and the principals of participating startups meet twice monthly.
Interested students, principals, and investors can reach Cesar Bandera for more information.
