CHAPTERS / START A CHAPTER

Your campus.
Chapter 08.
Let's build it.

Comet Foundry chapters are started by motivated students — people who looked at their campus and decided their fellow builders deserved better infrastructure. If that's you, this is where it starts.

START A CHAPTER / 001

Who this is for.

THE MOTIVATED STUDENT

You are enrolled at a university not yet on our map. You have looked at your campus and seen the builders who are trying to start something without the infrastructure to do it. You want to be the person who changes that. Start here.

THE FACULTY MEMBER

You work at a university and you have watched talented students leave without ever building the thing they were capable of. You want to give them the space to do it. We want to work with you.

THE ADMINISTRATOR

Your institution is committed to entrepreneurship and innovation. You are looking for a partner that brings structure, community, and a global network to your campus. That is what Comet Foundry does.

START A CHAPTER / 002

What starting a chapter means.

Starting a Comet Foundry chapter is not filling out a form. It is committing to building something real at your institution — and running it to the standard that makes the name worth carrying.

Before you apply, read the Chapter Standard. It tells you exactly what every chapter must do and what happens if it doesn't.
