American University launches startup lab for early-stage student ideas

Original: American University launches student startup lab for the ‘napkin stage’

American University has opened a new startup lab aimed at students whose business ideas are still at the 'napkin stage' — the earliest, roughest phase of concept development. The program gives student entrepreneurs a structured space to refine raw ideas before pursuing funding or incorporation. It adds to a growing wave of university-backed incubators supporting campus entrepreneurship.

Why now: Universities are increasingly investing in early-stage entrepreneurship programs, and a lab explicitly for raw ideas stands out.
