Desk service for early-stage startup ideas

Taking the first step into entrepreneurship can feel both exciting and overwhelming, especially for students and researchers who are just getting started. The Desk service offered by USI Startup Centre is the fastest way to get early feedback, learn about available support programmes and explore next steps. 

The Desk service is designed for those who are curious about innovative entrepreneurship but may not yet have a fully developed business concept. Whether you are refining a research idea, testing your first prototype, or simply wondering if entrepreneurship could be the right path for you, our team is here to support you.

What to expect?

Through a confidential one-hour 1-to-1 meeting, you can:

• Receive initial feedback on your project or early-stage idea
• Explore available support programmes, both within the USI ecosystem and beyond
• Clarify your next steps, whether that means further validation, team building, or accessing funding opportunities

Our goal is not just to evaluate ideas, but to help you gain clarity and direction, two essential ingredients at the beginning of any entrepreneurial journey. No business plan or prior experience required.
