How to Leverage University Ecosystems for Startup Growth

Featuring: Dr. Craig R. Everett, Executive Director, Most Fundable Companies and Associate Professor of Finance

Live Event with Gust Thursday April 16th, 2026 @ 4pm Eastern

Many founders view universities primarily as institutions for students. However, for the modern entrepreneur, these institutions represent one of the most underutilized support systems in the startup landscape.

From specialized legal clinics and MBA consulting projects to sophisticated tech transfer offices, the resources available within higher education can provide the infrastructure a startup needs to scale without the immediate pressure of equity dilution.

Join Gust and Dr. Everett for a discussion on navigating the university ecosystem to strengthen your company’s foundation.
