RISERoosevelt IncubatorSchaumburg Enterprises

Roosevelt’s Heller College of Business is committed to supporting local communities and entrepreneurs, and we have partnered with the Village of Schaumburg to create RISE (Roosevelt Incubator Schaumburg Enterprises). Based out of our Schaumburg Campus, the incubator program will provide local small businesses in the early stages of their venture with facility access, intern support and a lecture series to help them succeed.
