The accelerator was developed to make entrepreneurial resources available to university students and recent alumni. Studio G offers programs designed to provide learning, funding, and networking opportunities to student entrepreneurs from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds. Studio G is committed to making entrepreneurship an attainable and sustainable career path through the continuous enhancement of the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.
