""There is a bigger learning outcome than just the start-up," Lewis said. "Students gain better confidence in actually being able to execute an entrepreneurial venture.""
""That's a valuable, real-world opportunity," Lewis said. "Students build a business case and then present it to business owners, investors and entrepreneurs at the end of the semester to get feedback.""
""It really does provide a win for students actively pursuing start-ups," he added."
Flyer Nest launched in fall 2024 within the University of Dayton School of Business Administration as a capstone that teaches students to design ventures solving real problems and benefiting communities. The program has served 12 teams and about 70 students, with each team developing a single business venture; two teams continued beyond the course and six new teams began this semester. Each capstone ends with a proposal students can submit for funding, and teams receive mentorship and investor connections through partnerships with Ohio entrepreneurial support programs and the Ohio Third Frontier TVSF.
