VEO Updates 9/7: Apply to LAUNCH!
Unveiling our new pre-idea incubator to help future builders create their first product under 6 weeks.
Virginia Entrepreneurship Organization (VEO) is the community for ambitious student builders at the University of Virginia. We support students who are working on side projects and startups — those who are looking to build their first version of their product and onwards.
Our meetings involve:
Startup workshops to fine-tune your ideas or brainstorm new ones
Experienced entrepreneurs speakers about their startups and journeys
Getting answers to questions about your projects through our community
🚀 Apply to LAUNCH
Itching to create something but don’t know where to start?
Looking for a close-knit group of builders on grounds?
Want to build something fast and learn from the best?
Apply to LAUNCH, our 6-week pre-idea incubator. We’ll help you go 0 → 1 on cool ideas that you’ll have the chance to demo in front of investors.
You’ll get personalized support with exclusive speakers, a dedicated team mentor to guide you when building, and workshops to turn your ideas into real, impactful projects!
