Bronco Entrepreneur Challenge
Test your ideas in our campus-wide, shark-tank-style pitch competition. The Bronco Entrepreneur Challenge is an accessible entry point to win seed funding (over $13,000 awarded recently!) and get direct mentorship from Boise’s business community.
Sandbox Tech Startup Incubator
Earn course credit while developing real tech startups. This intensive capstone-style course lasts through fall and spring semesters. You’ll receive remote expert instruction and one-on-one mentorship. Just last year, Sandbox students launched 15 startups, winning accolades at Boise Pitch Night and the Hackfort Tech Challenge.
Entrepreneurial Innovation Community
Newly opened for Fall 2026, this dynamic living community gives motivated, sophomore and upper-division student entrepreneurs a home to collaborate, build essential skills, and network with industry professionals. Students live together on campus in Selway Suites, directly across the street from the Micron Business and Economics Building.
Global Experiences
We strongly encourage developing your international network. In fact, over 40% of COBE students who study abroad are International Business majors, gaining invaluable foreign language proficiency and a competitive global perspective.
Asia BizTech
Asia BizTech is your opportunity to experience the interplay between the scholarly, cultural, political and economic levels at play in Asia and the world. Be part of a small cohort of motivated students bridging the gap between Boise State University and Taiwan and gain a foundational understanding of how to work effectively in Asia.
