From launching a clothing line for neurodivergent individuals to creating artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools for industries as diverse as health care, computing and drone operation, Orange Innovation Fund grants are fueling a diverse set of entrepreneurial ventures led by University innovators. The competitive micro-grant program, coordinated through the University Libraries, supports student businesses to develop and test prototypes of products, services and technologies they are seeking to bring to the market.
Each of the 2025 award winners have legally incorporated as business entities and are actively working with the University innovation ecosystem, including Libraries and the Blackstone LaunchPad, Couri Hatchery at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, Invent@SU at the College of Engineering and Computer Science and the Innovation Law Center at the College of Law.
