Whether it's connecting you to leading faculty providing you with quality student talent, we regularly offer NYU's formidable resources to our startups.
NYU consistently attracts high-caliber students, and we bring them in as interns to select companies at no charge to founders.
As long as you're with us, we'll customize the program to suit your needs. No rigid program here.
Pro bono office hours with the renowned legal team at Orrick, resources from our partners, including Nvidia and IBM — just a few of the offerings our startups receive.
Because the Future Labs are an approved partner of this state program, businesses in Next Round are eligible to apply for tax-free status.
Whether it’s at Future Labs events, industry conferences, partner opportunities, or client leads, companies in Next Round can present their ventures to relevant audiences large and small at venues around NYC and the world.
Each year a roster of NYU faculty is chosen to work closely with our startups on various projects. They also offer dedicated office hours and a pipeline to student talent.
Real estate in New York is a big expense, and it shouldn't stand in the way of your company’s success. With our current hybrid program (virtual/onsite as our space opens), we offer subsidized rent: standardized, transparent charges per desk and flexible lease durations so you can focus less on rent and more on growth.
Our portfolio includes some of the most successful startups past and present in New York City, including such companies as CB Insights, BounceExchange, and Geometric Intelligence (now Uber AI Labs).
