Darden Progressive Incubator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Darden Progressive Incubator is a program designed to support promising early-stage business ventures involving Darden MBA students. The Incubator is located on the campus of the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Participation[edit]

The Darden Incubator is open to anyone within the University of Virginia community with an entrepreneurial business idea; entry is via business concept and business plan competitions held annually at Darden. Once in the Incubator, each business is led by Darden students—whether as principals or as development managers—through a series of increasingly demanding criteria (called "gates") to the point of start-up or abandonment. Each gate is made operational with the help of an outside panel of experts in new venture development.[1]
