Do the work
Students and recent graduates from universities in Utah build against a live problem. The record is a statement of work, a prototype, and an honest evaluation. A founder role may follow. It is optional.

Our mission is to give students and recent graduates hands-on experience building AI systems, on problems a company already has. They may come from any university in Utah. Recent graduates are welcome, including those who have not yet found a position.
Where a solution shows commercial potential, we pair it with a founder to bring it to market. A founding role is open to those who want it.

Put it on the tableCommercially promising work is paired with a founding team. That team may include student volunteers and early-stage entrepreneurs. Founders and investors may earn or purchase a majority ownership position.
Talk to the labThe loop
A company brings a problem it already has. If the people who live with it do not recognize it, the work does not start.
Students and recent graduates build it, with mentorship, tools, and a deadline. The result is a prototype that can be shown.
Commercial potential is paired with a founder and a plan to market. Work that cannot support a company is closed, and the lab begins the next problem.
Get involved
A short note is enough. Say whether you are a student or recent graduate, a company with a problem, or a founder, and include the time you can give.
