Summer sessions get down to business Babson program aids student start-ups

Each Monday this summer, students enrolled in Babson College’s new Summer Venture Program have been meeting to eat pizza and talk business. All are involved in start-up companies.

During a recent session, one conceded that his idea for a computer repair business was running up against an oversaturated market. Another group of students said they were pleased with the number of merchants they had added to their online shopping portal, but disappointed by the revenue.

Similar college programs often feature mock start-ups, but the 42 Babson undergraduates, recent graduates, and graduate students participating in the Wellesley school’s program are running real companies.
