Campbell Center for Entrepreneurship
Support Entrepreneurs: Columbia’s Builders
Your gift to the Campbell Center is a gift to all Columbia founders of businesses and social enterprises. Because it takes more than grit and brilliance to launch a new venture, we offer financial help through the annual Startup Columbia venture competition, space and mentoring at the Columbia Startup Lab, and support for current students exploring entrepreneurship at the Columbia Startup Lab Uptown. Please support the Campbell Center for Entrepreneurship on Columbia Giving Day!
Key Programs
Columbia Startup Lab Downtown
The Columbia Startup Lab in SoHo is a living testimony to Columbia’s longstanding spirit of innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship. Your gift today supports Columbia alumni entrepreneurs representing industries from fintech to fashion to food, in addition to nonprofit and social ventures. Gifts to this fund support the mentoring, training, and programming the Campbell Center provides to alumni founders to help them and their ventures succeed.
Startup Columbia Venture Competition
Each year, more than 200 Columbia-founded startups enter one of our venture competition challenges. Your gift to this fund today directly supports prizes for the winning founders, who are all students or recent alumni from any Columbia-affiliated school, including Barnard. The judging panel is assembled from Columbia's worldwide community of savvy and supportive entrepreneurs from around the world.
Columbia Startup Lab Uptown
The Columbia Startup Lab Uptown provides a host of campus-wide programming, open working space, mentorship, and connection for aspiring undergraduate and graduate student founders, whether they are new to entrepreneurship or are actively working on a specific startup.
