Meet Our Resident Teams
Resident teams are made up of committed student entrepreneurs looking to grow their ideas while giving back to The Garage community.
The Garage Residency Program is an opportunity for student teams, both undergraduate and graduate, to be core members of The Garage’s entrepreneurial community. Resident teams use The Garage as their office and receive special privileges like 24/7 access, a weekly Family Dinner and priority for Office Hours with mentors and staff.
