About the Auxilium Innovation Studio

The Auxilium Innovation Studio is an in-person residency program lasting up to 12 months, designed to provide early-stage founders the space, resources, and support they need to focus on building their product and turning their vision into a real, thriving venture. With access to capital, expert mentorship, and a collaborative community, Auxilium provides an environment where founders can fully dedicate themselves to what matters most, bringing their ideas to life.

We’re looking for ambitious, creative entrepreneurs who are ready to fully commit to their venture. If you have a compelling idea, a clear vision, and the drive to build something meaningful, this is the place for you.

Founders accepted into the Innovation Studio will be based out of the Auxilium Worcester office, which will serve as their primary workspace throughout the program. In-person collaboration is a core part of our philosophy; it fosters community, accelerates progress, and drives better outcomes.
