About

The Brad D. Smith Student Incubator is designed for budding student entrepreneurs who are seeking to launch their start-ups off the ground. The program was established in 2019 through a partnership between the Brad D. Smith Schools of Business and Marshall’s Advanced Manufacturing Center, and named for Marshall alum, benefactor, and now university President, Brad D. Smith, whose successful career as a Silicon Valley executive inspired a passion for uplifting his home state of West Virginia. Students accepted into the incubator program receive best practices in entrepreneurship, mentorship from experienced Entrepreneurs in Residence, and guidance and support as they test, adapt, and validate their business ideas in the market.
