Thank you to our INCubatoredu teachers, mentors and the Advisory Council for supporting our young entrepreneurs!
Thank you to our 2026 Innovation Sponsors!
The Naperville Education Foundation has partnered with Naperville 203 to serve as the fiscal agent for Business INCubatoredu, 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, INCubatoredu 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 INCubatoredu sponsor. Email nef@naperville203.org for more information.
