CHAPTERS / FOR UNIVERSITIES

Your students are already trying to build companies.
Give them the infrastructure to do it properly.

Comet Foundry partners with universities to establish campus chapters — physical builder spaces that give student founders the community, structure, and resources they need to move from idea to execution.

FOR UNIVERSITIES / 001

The opportunity sitting on your campus.

The most ambitious students on your campus are already attempting to start companies. They are doing it in dorm rooms, coffee shops, and Discord servers — without structure, without community, and without the resources that would give their ideas a real chance.

A Comet Foundry chapter gives them the infrastructure that entrepreneurship education alone cannot: a physical space where builders find each other, a semester-long arc that drives toward real outcomes, and a global network that connects your campus to every other chapter in the movement.

The question is not whether your students want this. They do. The question is whether your institution will be the one to give it to them.

FOR UNIVERSITIES / 002

What you are sanctioning.

01 · A PHYSICAL SPACE

A dedicated builder space on your campus, open to enrolled students. Operated by a student leadership team under the Comet Foundry Chapter Standard.

02 · A STRUCTURED PROGRAM

Four Labs. A Semester Arc from Kickoff to Demo Day. A repeatable system that drives toward builder outcomes every semester — not just community events.

03 · A GLOBAL NETWORK

Your chapter is Chapter N of a growing global network. Your students connect with builders at every other Comet Foundry campus. That network is the long-term asset.
