USC & Techstars Programs
In partnership with the University of Southern California (USC) Office of Research and Innovation, USC and Techstars programs represent a collective effort to cultivate, engage, and enhance the innovation ecosystem at USC.
Through these programs, the university’s network of students, alumni, and faculty will access opportunities such as entrepreneurial-focused events, training, and programming that create a pathway for aspiring and early-stage founders to progress on their entrepreneurial journey.
