The Forty Acres Founders Program is a semester long practicum offered by the Herb Kelleher Entrepreneurship Center designed to help student founders establish product-market fit for their ideas and launch businesses from a position of strength, increasing the number of successful and scalable businesses launched from The University of Texas at Austin.
After an intense semester of honing their concepts, founders submit their pitch to earn a spot in the Forty Acres Founders Pitch Competition to compete for $20,000 in grant funding. During the competition, students have the opportunity to hone their business strategy, get professional feedback on their pitches, and form lasting relationships with mentors in the Texas entrepreneurial ecosystem.
At The University of Texas at Austin, we believe that what starts(up) here changes the world!
