The O’Pake Institute offers an array of services to support entrepreneurs, small and established for profit and nonprofit businesses. The Institute’s experienced staff, in conjunction with undergraduate and graduate students selected for the O’Pake Fellows Program, work directly with businesses in the areas listed below.
This list is comprehensive but does not include all the services offered through the Institute. If the Institute cannot directly support a business, we work directly with other trusted professional service providers to ensure that the business receives the support required to start, grow and thrive.
O’Pake is dedicated to collaborating with businesses to create innovative solutions, a process we refer to as Project #6. While the "first five" projects on any to-do list are high-priority and time-sensitive, the sixth project remains essential yet often lacks sufficient resources for completion. This is where we step in to help.
