Universities are filled with student and alumni innovations that are often abandoned due to difficulties leveraging university resources and networks. Univate provides a platform to connect innovators within universities to share skills, form teams, access resources and funding, gather feedback on projects through milestones and tasks, and iterate on ideas. Their business model involves free basic memberships and paid tiered memberships for additional tools and data, as well as charging outside organizations to interface with university projects.

1. Innovate x Cultivate x Elevate

2. Problem
Universities are filled with student
and alumni innovations that are
often abandoned instead of
pursued or monetized. This is due
to their inability to properly
leverage university resources and
networks.

3. Our Solution
Univate provides university students and alumni
with project-based resources for skill sharing and
feedback.
Skill sharing on university campuses is difficult
because of isolated departments.
Feedback is essential to successful innovation at
any and all levels.
Innovate – Come up with an idea
and/or prototype.
Cultivate - Build team and gather
feedback.
Elevate – Data –driven iteration.
