What they focus on
- SUTD organizes venture support under DIVE in four stages: Explore, Experiment, Expose and Enterprise.
- Early funding includes the Baby Shark Fund for undergraduate and master's students and Decentralised GAP Funding for postgraduates, faculty and researchers.
- Design-2-Venture (D2V) helps students take ideas to launch; ventures can then use DIVE Commons incubation space and the SUTD Venture Innovation Fund.
- SUTD says non-SUTD students and teams are welcome in most programs and that it does not take equity from participating teams.
