All About the Campus To Community (C2C)

The Campus-to-Community (C2C) Student Fund is where campus-based ventures become community businesses. Created for student entrepreneurs who are ready to take the next step, C2C helps founders transition from the campus umbrella to a venture that is ready for real customers in the real world.

Through personalized mentoring and hands-on business guidance, students refine their business models, validate their markets, strengthen their pitches, and gain the confidence to move beyond a campus business and into the marketplace.

What makes C2C unique is the community.

Business leaders, investors, donors, and experienced founders volunteer their time to coach students, share their expertise, and open doors to new opportunities.

The program is far more than a funding opportunity, it is a launchpad that connects campus innovation with the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem.

By helping students

successfully transition from a campus-based venture to a community-based business, C2C empowers the next generation of entrepreneurs while contributing to economic growth and innovation throughout Central Texas.
