Planting Entrepreneurial Seeds
Seed Track
What is Seed?
The EDD's Seed track provides a foundational understanding of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and
how organizations
operate. This track is designed for colleges that lack a well-established or active
entrepreneurial presence but are
eager to explore entrepreneurship. Participating colleges will receive valuable resources and
support to foster
growth and develop a robust network.
Colleges looking to enter the entrepreneurial world will be given the necessary resources and
networking
opportunities to support their future growth.
