\u2014 UIC Discover was created to meet entrepreneurs where they are. We often meet people with strong ideas and great potential, but they need flexibility to develop them alongside work, studies, or other responsibilities. By combining a digital program with self-paced assignments, hands-on coaching and access to our network, we help founders focus on what matters most in the early phase \u2013 validating the idea and laying the foundation for sustainable growth, says Jessica Mansourati, Business Developer at UIC.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
