Partner with Aeroventure
Partner with the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Sponsoring Aeroventure means backing Long Island students who are building real ventures — not simulations, not class projects. Your contribution funds grants, resources, and structured programming that gives students the support to move from an idea to a paying customer.
Why it matters
Why sponsor Aeroventure?
Most youth programs give students an assignment. Aeroventure gives them a company. Every student who joins a cohort is expected to build something with actual customers, real feedback, and financial stakes — starting in the first few weeks. That kind of learning doesn't happen without resources, and that's where sponsors come in.
Sponsoring Aeroventure is not a donation to an abstract cause. It's funding that goes directly to specific students, specific projects, and specific program infrastructure — and sponsors can choose where their contribution is directed. Whether you want to fund a student group, cover an event, provide software access, or offer your organization's expertise, you'll know exactly where your support is going.
The program is also a pipeline. Long Island produces talented young people who will build companies, hire people, and contribute to the local economy. Sponsoring their early development builds a relationship with those founders before they've outgrown Long Island — and puts your organization in front of a community of families, educators, and mentors who are invested in seeing them succeed.
How you can help
Ways to support.
Student venture grants
Fund one or more student groups directly, giving them capital to test and grow their ventures during the cohort.

In-kind contributions
Donate space, materials, printing, transportation, food, or other practical resources.
Participation access
Help remove financial or logistical barriers so more students can participate fully.
Custom partnership
Propose your own idea. Aeroventure is open to partnership structures that don't fit neatly into any of the above.
These aren't fixed packages. The sponsorship form lets you indicate which areas you'd like to support, and the team follows up to work out the details.
Student venture grants
How group project funding works.
Sponsors who want to fund student projects directly can choose how many groups they'd like to support and assign a funding amount per group. Aeroventure allocates these grants to active student ventures based on the sponsor's stated preferences — industry focus, project stage, or simply the groups with the most immediate need.
You don't need to know which students you're funding in advance. The sponsorship form includes a section where you can specify the number of groups and the amount per group. After your inquiry is reviewed, the Aeroventure team will follow up to discuss the allocation in more detail, confirm student matches, and let you know how the grants are being used.
If you're not sure yet how much to allocate or how many groups to support, just indicate that in the form. The team is happy to walk through options before any commitments are made.
