is a summer (May – August) based internship program in which University of Alaska students are paired with an Alaska startup company.

Collaborative opportunities: Connecting entrepreneurial startups with innovative students. Want to know more?

Are you a student looking for a summer opportunity to work with an Alaskan Startup company? Do you want to gain valuable experience in the world of startups and innovation? Are you an Alaskan startup company that is looking for innovative students to work with you and your team? If so, then the Students to Startups program is for you.

Students learn about design thinking, startup funding, intellectual property, customer discovery, path to market strategies, and pitching. Students transition this knowledge into their startup’s work project while growing their own capacity and capabilities for their future opportunities. Through guest lectures, students get to meet other Alaskan entrepreneurs and program leads that assist them growing their network.

For students or startups interested in joining the program, reach out to us at centerice@alaska.edu. This program is supported by a grant from the Office of Naval Research.

Please let us know if you are interested below and reach out to Prof. Peter Webley, pwwebley@alaska.edu, and Michael Martins, mwmartins@alaska.edu, with questions.
