Social Impact Incubator Program

Take Your Startup to the Next Level

The Coleman Entrepreneurship Center's Social Impact Incubator Program, sponsored by Byline Bank, challenges alumni, student and community entrepreneurs to scale and grow business ventures that have a strong social impact mission. As a participant, you'll take part in an eight-week boot camp to work with peers, DePaul faculty and expert entrepreneurs to further develop your business. During the program, you will:

• Collaborate with local and established entrepreneurs to work on customized curriculum, which will include strategic and practical tips toward scaling your startup.
• Work one-on-one with a mentor during and after the program to help improve your business strategy and expand your network.
• Have the opportunity to apply to hire DePaul student interns through the CEC's Internship Program.

Cohort members meet once a week in the evenings at the Coleman Entrepreneurship Center, located in the Loop Campus at DePaul Center, 1 E. Jackson Blvd, Suite 7900.

Upcoming Program Dates

Our next Social Impact Incubator Program cohort is planned for spring 2025. Applications will open February 3. The program will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 9pm from March 11-May 6 (*there will be no class on March 25 due to DePaul Spring break).
