Couri Hatchery Student Business Incubator

The Couri Hatchery incubator is a student-centered, supportive co-working space and mentorship program that helps student ventures at any level, from idea through start-up, development and growth. Promoting and supporting business development among entrepreneurial students across the SU campus, the Couri Hatchery is named for John Couri '63 BA (A&S), co-founder of Duty Free International and president of the Couri Foundation.

It provides SU student business owners with real-world experience in business innovation and creation and research and development, while simulating interaction between student entrepreneurs and our faculty, students, administrators and staff.

Businesses that have initiated within the Couri Hatchery include Dream Water, Golden Gear, Solstice Power, ThunderCakes, Funk 'n Waffles, Wholesale Jewelry Liquidators, Brand-Yourself.com and many others.
