I have a business idea. What’s next?

YStart by conducting market research, talking to experts, and validating your idea before taking further steps. Schedule a mentoring appointment so we can guide you through the process.

I need help registering my business.

Make sure you're ready before registering—it's not required right away. You can register on the Utah business website or schedule a mentoring session for guidance.

Can I hire interns or students to work for my business?

Your best option is to post a listing on UVU Handshake or connect with E2I, which helps match students with opportunities. While we can’t find students for you, we can offer guidance on the process.

What funding opportunities are available at UVU?

We offer a pitch competition each semester with prizes up to $2,500 and milestone funding of up to $1,000 with mentor approval. If your business is post-revenue, we can discuss additional funding options, but funding is only available for degree-seeking students.

I need legal help with my business.

We can offer general advice, but we are not lawyers. To ensure your business is legally protected, we recommend consulting a professional attorney.

I am an alumni—can I still get help?

We love supporting alumni entrepreneurs! You can still schedule mentoring meetings and participate in VentureCon, but UVU funding is only available for current degree-seeking students..

I need help coding or creating a website..

There are many beginner-friendly tools like Wix and WordPress that allow you to build a website without coding experience—start by researching those. If you need more advanced help, consider posting a job online or hiring a freelancer on platforms like Fiverr.

I need to talk to an expert in this industry. Can you help?

We like to meet with you a few times before connecting you with our mentor network, and we encourage you to seek mentors on your own as well. Attending our workshops and events is one of the best ways to meet industry experts.
