The University of Iowa Venture School is the premier statewide program for entrepreneurs and is built from a streamlined curriculum developed by the National Science Foundation I-Corps at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley. Venture School emphasizes real-world entrepreneurship and innovation based on a leading-edge curriculum. Participants will encounter the chaos and uncertainty of creating new ventures based on customer discovery.

Fall 2022 Venture School program will be held as a hybrid class. An in-person orientation will be held Thursday, September 29 to explain the course expectations and to meet the Coaches. Following classes will be held via Zoom October 6 – November 10. The Launch Day Pitch Competition will be held in-person on the NIACC campus on Thursday November 17.
