SSBC is a visionary initiative of ORIC Principal Seat CUI targeting entrepreneurial learning and experimentation among CUI students with exceptional Technology & AI startup ideas.
SSBC iterates calls for competition by inviting business ideas from CUI students of 6th semester onwards. An evaluation committee led by ORIC Principal Seat assesses applications and selects winning ideas that qualify for CUI seed funding ranging from PKR 200,000 to PKR 500,000 per winning team.
Seed money winners are trained formally on entrepreneurial fundamentals and provided cubators to incubate their startup ideas for a full year under regular monitoring, evaluation, and expert guidance. Successful startups spin out as legal business entities serving society.
During early half of 2026, SSBC Lahore Campus conducted its application cycle (overall 14th batch CUI / 1st batch at CUI Lahore). 4 potential students got selected for seed money incubation in June 2026, with online startup trainings currently running!
