Entrepreneurship & Innovation Initiative

By residing in the center of San Francisco, USF is the only educational institution capable of integrating the abundant local resources in entrepreneurship with strong Jesuit, Catholic values to introduce a radically new approach for developing entrepreneurs.

Rather than focusing on the 1% to disrupt society, we will elevate the 99% to sustain society. Applying this perspective leads us to focus on activities such as: implementing entrepreneurial skills in courses across campus to reach 100% of students, and building custom AI tools to help students learn and apply these skills.

Once students are ready to take their project ideas out of the classroom and into the real world, they can join our campus incubator to receive additional support, including access to micro-grant funding so they can convert ideas into tangible outcomes and participation in pitch competitions so they can make real progress toward milestones while gaining meaningful mentoring.
