MBA Fellowship

Giving our business students applied, real-time, go-to-market experience

We have partnered with Barnstorm Foundry and the Graduate School of Management to give UC Davis MBA candidates hands-on engagement with what it takes to convert technologies into viable startups.

This fellowship focuses on the mechanics of early-stage company creation. MBA students work under support from Barnstorm Foundry and IIFH leadership to identify promising technologies and explore the following:

  • Market Research
  • Technology evaluation
  • Market sizing
  • Business models
  • Expert Interviews
  • Existing technologies
  • Consumer preferences
  • GRAS processes
  • And more!

Program logistics for 2024-25 are still being determined. Check back soon!

Applications are currently closed. Please check back again in September.
