Financial Support - Venture Studios 

Northern Arizona University 

In early February and in Partnership with Northern Arizona University Venture Studios and Mission Vivere, Lean Startup Weekend #1 launched the "Lean Startup Semester Series"—a transformative experience for student entrepreneurs. This event reached beyond business concepts; it empowered students to think boldly, act decisively, and embrace the entrepreneurial journey with confidence. The result? An energized, forward-thinking student community ready to turn ideas into reality.

  • 5 Student Teams collaborated on early- stage startup ideas, supported by 10 students in total.

  • 5 expert coaches and 3 judges from across two colleges and community relations provided hands-on mentorship.

  • 4 student workers gained professional experience in organizing and executing a major entrepreneurial event.

  • 9.6/10 average event rating from participants—a testament to its powerful impact!
