IDEAinstitute Northshore
IDEAinstitute Northshore is an idea-stage accelerator program that introduces innovative entrepreneurs and potential startup founders to the tools they need to turn an idea into a scalable venture.
Founders will walk away from the program with a plan to build a business following the Lean Startup Methodology, and they will meet a community of like-minded founders along the way. This 10-week program is run in a hybrid format, with each week’s session running virtually and with opportunities to engage in person in the final week. IDEAinstitute is led by Professor Felipe Massa, Ph.D and produced by The Idea Village, in collaboration with St. Tammany Corporation under the STartUP Northshore program.
Applications for the Spring 2024 Cohort are now closed.
