Studio ยท University of Utah
Students finishing at the University of Utah build that prototype on a problem a company already has. The company finds out if the fix works. The student leaves with work they can take to a job, or into the company if a founder takes it.
If it cannot be a company, we scuttle it and start the next one. Not a club. Not a class project with a nicer README.

Email a resumeThe thing that is actually broken. We will tell you if it nods. If it does, you get a prototype you can touch, not a slide about AI.
Put it on the tableCommercially promising work gets a founding team. Students may join. Founders and investors may earn or buy a majority. The lab tees it up. Someone else swings.
Talk to the labThe loop
Operators, faculty, students. If nobody who feels it nods, it does not enter the shop.
Statement of work. Student team. Mentorship, machines, a deadline. Demo or it did not happen.
Commercial potential gets a founder and a plan. The rest we learn from, iterate, or drop.
