Get Access to the University at Buffalo

The University at Buffalo is both big - the largest and most comprehensive campus in the 64-campus SUNY system - and bright, ranking among the top 2% of American universities as a member of the Association of American Universities.  UB's three campuses, 110 degree programs, 30,000 students, and $400M annual research spend combine to create a wealth of opportunities for partnering startups.  

WIN collaborates with on-campus partners to produce a series of programs that help early stage companies connect with UB faculty, students, and facilities in ways that encourage partnerships and drive economic growth in the region.  Programs include:

  • Inclusive Launch: links startup companies with minority and female students for internship opportunities
  • Reverse Pitch: brings startup companies on campus to pitch students on their innovative business models, culture, and career oppportunities
  • Startup Alley: creates a cohesive, well marketed presence of incubator companies at on-campus career fairs

WIN regularly connects startups seeking to access UB and professors/student clubs looking to partner with early stage companies.  To help startups navigate the vast resources available to them, we utilize a one-on-one Needs Assessment to quickly identify high-impact opportunities.  These one-on-one meetings often lead to several opportunities to save time and money, access talent, and grow.
