Through this work, students go beyond the world of the hypothetical, gaining experience working with real-world innovations and helping develop plans to move them forward to impact. <br \/>Student Marketing Associates work with the Technology Marketing team to develop plans and materials to promote early-stage inventions directly to industry and work to match technologies with potential licensees, as well as support our social media campaigns.<br \/>Our Student Entrepreneurial Fellows, who are generally graduate and PhD students, serve as key members of the Venture Development team and learn about the entrepreneurial experience as they work with real-world startup leadership. They shadow a TLA Mentor-in-Residence \u2013 a seasoned entrepreneur \u2013 to strategize, develop and launch new ventures. Student Entrepreneurial Fellows also serve as TLA ambassadors on campus and in the community to promote commercialization activities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-823295d px-outer pt-5 pb-5 edge-row text-white e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"823295d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1506bcd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1506bcd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b24a71 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6b24a71\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c20dd9 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2c20dd9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/techlaunch-static.arizona.edu\/tla-annual-23\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Engagement-5-seed-TLA-Annual2023-768x693.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-230\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techlaunch-static.arizona.edu\/tla-annual-23\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Engagement-5-seed-TLA-Annual2023-768x693.png 768w, https:\/\/techlaunch-static.arizona.edu\/tla-annual-23\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Engagement-5-seed-TLA-Annual2023-300x271.png 300w, https:\/\/techlaunch-static.arizona.edu\/tla-annual-23\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Engagement-5-seed-TLA-Annual2023-1024x924.png 1024w, https:\/\/techlaunch-static.arizona.edu\/tla-annual-23\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Engagement-5-seed-TLA-Annual2023.png 1287w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec76306 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ec76306\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-819f167 e-con-full container-mr-lg-0 edge-content-box e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"819f167\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6394046 font-medium edge-title  elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6394046\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Wildcat Seed Fund<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16c6f28 font-condensed letter-spacing--normal elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"16c6f28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Funding Early-stage Companies with a Hands-on Student Experience<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3945c30 edge-content-text  elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3945c30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This year, an anonymous donor made a $1 million gift to help us launch the Wildcat Seed Fund \u2013 a philanthropic, early-stage fund designed to help fund University of Arizona startups launched to commercialize ideas and innovations stemming from the work of university faculty, staff, and students.
