Sabancı University SUCool

Sabancı University SUCool (Startup Company League) is the entrepreneurship and incubation center of Sabancı University, established in 2013 to support early-stage technology and innovation-based startups with structured pre-incubation and entrepreneurial support. The center operates as an academic hub where founders can refine their ideas, validate business models, and build venture-ready plans by participating in training, mentorship, workspace access, and networking opportunities with industry and investor partners. SUCool’s programs help teams prepare for investment readiness and commercialization while offering exposure to international mentor networks such as The Venture Mentoring Team (VMT).

SUCool runs pre-incubation and incubation programs that include intensive 8-week training curricula covering business model validation, startup law, prototyping, and go-to-market strategy, along with co-working space on Sabancı University’s Tuzla Campus for around three months. Graduates of SUCool’s programs are often guided toward national funding programs such as TÜBİTAK BiGG (BiGG3INN) and connected with Sabancı University’s broader innovation and seed support ecosystem.
