University of Montana Supports Entrepreneurial Students Through Startup Studio

University of Montana students interested in entrepreneurship and starting their own businesses have a space to gather and work together on their new ventures.

Each Tuesday afternoon this spring semester students meet in UM’s Startup Studio, a room on the third floor of the University Center where students of all majors explore their business ideas and receive feedback from one another.

Some students are drawn to the studio to simply learn more about entrepreneurship, while others like MBA student Stephen McLaughlin are there to develop their existing business. McLaughlin last year co-founded Remsight, an irrigation intelligence platform for ranchers and water managers. He used the Startup Studio to refine his business plan and prepare to engage with investors later this year.
