Built for Student-Athletes: Student-athletes are natural leaders, teammates, and competitors. Those same strengths translate powerfully into entrepreneurship. BOSS - Athletics is open to current student-athletes at Ohio State who want to take ownership of their future through entrepreneurship.
The program consists of virtual workshops throughout the summer and one-on-one coaching sessions with an assigned mentor. No business experience required – just drive, curiosity, and a willingness to grow.
You can apply for BOSS - Athletics with or without a business idea.
BOSS - Athletics Prizes: Student-athlete-led businesses will compete for funding, including a grand prize of $10,000 and the possibility of $5,000 prizes. These awards are courtesy of the Joan & Chester Luby Microgrant Prize Program for BOSS.
Backed by Buckeyes: The Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship powers BOSS - Athletics alongside a team of mentors who understand the athlete's mindset and the entrepreneur’s journey.
