Testimonials

New Ventures: Develop was the most rewarding part of my time at Duke. I really enjoyed the incubator environment and the way that the course made entrepreneurship feel attainable. I am certainly not intimidated by environmental challenges anymore, and I feel like I have a practical action plan for how to implement my own ideas one day.
