Business INCubator : What We Do : Naperville Education Foundation

Fostering entrepreneurship, professionalism, and initiative in high schoolers.

Congratulations to all student business teams for such a successful semester. The 2024 winners are Stall-Secure, SHOEperheroes and OnaBox!

Thank you to our INCubator teachers, mentors, Advisory Council, and to Innovation Sponsors Molex and Calamos Investments for supporting our young entrepreneurs!

The Naperville Education Foundation has partnered with Naperville 203 to serve as the fiscal agent for Business INCubator, facilitating philanthropic support for entrepreneurial education.

NEF provides seed money for student teams’ minimum viable product (MVP) pitch, and a public “Shark Tank” like event: INCubator Pitch Night.

At Pitch Night, NCHS and NNHS student business teams pitch their creative and innovative entrepreneurial ideas to determine which teams will obtain additional funding to take their projects to the next level.

You can help student teams actualize their business by becoming an INCubator sponsor! Email nef@naperville203.org for more information.

Thank you to our sponsors!
