From Community College to Community Wealth: Entrepreneurship at Scale with AI Master Class

Learn to implement an AI-powered Entrepreneurship Center without staffing.

Wednesday, March 25, 2026
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (EDT)

Event Details

Many community colleges want a robust Entrepreneurship Center but struggle to justify staffing costs or sustain consistent mentorship and programming. This Master Class is designed for colleges ready to move from concept to implementation.

Builders + Backers will lead an immersive Implementation Lab focused on launching an AI-powered “Entrepreneurship Center-in-a-Box.” Participants will explore a complete, end-to-end entrepreneurship pathway—from ideation and commercialization to investment readiness—powered by expert-grade AI agents and proven venture studio frameworks.

Through live demonstrations, colleges will see how students can access the equivalent of a full mentor team in their pocket, with no additional staffing required. The session will focus on practical execution, including launch timelines, cohort recruitment, and integration into entrepreneurship centers, classrooms, or workforce transition programs.

Participants will leave with a clear, actionable go-live plan tailored to their institution.
