Starting a New Business

Student-Initiated Ideas

Are you a student with an idea for a business? Contact us!

We would love to have a dialogue with anyone thinking about services that might want to test on the Brown University campus. We have the infrastructure, prime retail space, and possible financing to support great ideas!

Please note that, in keeping with Brown's status as a nonprofit institution, it is important that Brown students do not use Brown facilities and resources for their own profit -- BSA can help you implement your idea with appropriate compensation. For more information, please review the University Policy Concerning Student Enterprise (Student-Run Businesses).

Outside Vendors

Do you have a service you think Brown students would value? We would be happy to speak with you as well to help determine if the service would be of value to Brown students and how we could introduce it to campus!
