Entrepreneurship Capstone
Open to final-year undergraduates only.
The Entrepreneurship Capstone lets final-year SUTD students fulfil their graduation requirements by building real-world ventures. Supported by the Venture and Incubation Experience (VIE) office, this programme is for students who want to work on real problems, create meaningful solutions, and explore entrepreneurship through hands-on experience.
You’ll develop an entrepreneurial mindset—learning to think innovatively, solve problems with purpose, and stay resourceful and resilient in uncertainty. From day one, you’ll receive mentorship from industry experts and journey alongside VIE’s venture partners to shape your ideas, validate your problem, and set a strong direction for your venture.
Through focused workshops on product development, go-to-market and pricing strategies, finance, equity, legal, and intellectual property, you’ll gain the practical skills needed to build and deliver viable solutions. By the end of the programme, you won’t just graduate with a capstone—you’ll graduate with real-world experience and the foundations of a venture you can take forward.
