We find creative ways to leverage the University’s strengths and resources to help micro-entrepreneurs in our community grow and prosper.
StartUP FIU Food
StartUP FIU Food is a partnership with the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management to leverage a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen and technical assistance to help food entrepreneurs, who traditionally do not have access to capital, to scale their existing operations. This program was seeded by Citi Foundation and sustained through Citi Community Development.
StartUP FIU Procurement
StartUP FIU Procurement provides technical assistance & capacity building to local, small, and minority-owned businesses including access to capital, financial, marketing, business development, technology, human resources & legal services. StartUP FIU launched this program with seed funding from the Health Foundation of South Florida as part of the Anchor Network initiative.
StartUP FIU Youth Entrepreneurship Program
The StartUP FIU Youth Entrepreneurship Program is a transformational experiential learning program that prepares today’s youth for entrepreneurial pursuits. Our students develop into “future-ready” citizens who can readily transition to post-high school education or alternatives such as entrepreneurship, small business management, and emerging workforce positions.
