The U-Start Difference

Most incubators have a resident (tenant), as well as, a non-tenant (affiliate) aspect of their offerings. Most have a diverse and experienced list of mentors that the start-ups can call upon for advice. The U-Start difference is comprised of extending this mentor program to a dedicated Board of Advisors for each Start-Up. These members are selected specifically for the Start-Up’s needs and their expertise required by the Start-Up.

Similarly, the U-Start Lunch and Learn sessions have been a traditional way for entrepreneurs in the Schenectady area to learn from experts about a topic of interest. These sessions are free and open to the public.
