Objectives
The Couri Hatchery is a student-centered business incubator. An incubator is a low cost, supportive environment that helps new start-ups get establishment and develop to the point that they can stand on their own. Our goal is to promote, stimulate, and support business development within the entrepreneurial student environment here at Syracuse University. Business creation at the Couri Hatchery will ultimately lead to the establishment of high-growth companies in New York and nationally. Positive business impacts can only do more to stimulate economic development in the Central New York region and beyond.

The focus of the Couri Hatchery is innovative, emerging student ventures. It provides a broad scope of services including cost-effective space and support, prototype production facilities, product realization and development services, and business consultation.

The Couri Hatchery will stimulate interaction between student entrepreneurs and other Syracuse University students, faculty, administrators, and staff. It will also offer unique research and development collaborations with local entrepreneurs, capitalizing on their facilities, business management expertise, and technologies to leverage our student entrepreneurial success.

The time spent as part of the Couri Hatchery will provide real-world experience for our student entrepreneurs in business innovation and creation, research and development.

The Incubation Residency
The length of student business involvement with the Couri Hatchery is tied to progression in growing the venture. Student ventures sign a six-month agreement, which is renewable based upon an evaluation of progress and the professionalism of the company's officers in the shared incubator space. A maximum residency of two years is generally applied.
