ATLANTA — The Marcus Foundation is donating $2.1 million to fund the next three years of the Create-X entrepreneurship program at Georgia Tech, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reported.
CREATE-X is a faculty-led, student-focused initiative aimed at teaching students how to launch startups. The funding allows Georgia Tech to scale the initiative and provide more resources to student, faculty and alumni program participants, according to a news release. CREATE-X's goal is to eventually have the entire Georgia Tech student body participate in the program.
Steve McLaughlin, dean and chairperson of Georgia Tech’s College of Engineering and co-founder of CREATE-X, said the grant lets CREATE-X leadership focus on building a "scalable, long-term program model that gives our students the resources needed to create impactful startups.”
