Albright Entrepreneurship Garage

A Hub for Student Entrepreneurs

The NC State Albright Entrepreneurship Garage is a venture creation and prototyping space designed for student entrepreneurs. It serves as a hub for students across campus to come together and explore their entrepreneurial ideas and interests. In partnership with Raleigh Founded, students call the Garage home to work on challenges alongside non-university businesses.

This startup space has it all — a physical space for entrepreneurs to develop, create and invent as well as programmatic resources like community meet-ups and skills workshops. Members have access to hundreds of like-minded peers, which makes networking and developing their entrepreneurial mindset easy.

Find us on Centennial Campus!

Our main entrance is in Partners I at the gray brick wall (see picture) located across from Fitts-Woolard Hall and Hunt Library.
