Due to the recent AWS outage affecting our registration forms, we’ve extended the application deadline for the HUSTLE startup program to Saturday, October 25.
HUSTLE is a free, semester-long startup program open to all USF students. The program helps them turn their ideas into viable, investment-ready ventures through mentorship, workshops and pitch training.
Over the past year, three HUSTLE startups received private investment from Chessler Holdings, our program’s private funding relationship.
On Friday, November 7, selected participants will pitch their startups to win $2,000and secure a spot in the 2026 HUSTLE Cohort, which includes continued mentorship and the chance for additional investment.
