Elijah Khasabo, a 22‑year‑old University of Massachusetts Amherst senior, is scaling Vidovo toward $1 million in revenue while completing his degree. He represents a growing cohort of student founders who juggle classroom obligations with rapid business growth. Khasabo’s case highlights how campus networks, community colleges and transfer paths remain important launchpads for entrepreneurship. University administrators and career centers are being asked to provide flexible support—legal clinics, IP guidance, and mentorship—that allows students to pursue startups without abandoning degree completion. For registrars and deans, the trend raises policy questions about leaves of absence, course scheduling and recognition of entrepreneurial work in credit pathways. Colleges that streamline startup support can both retain students and capture economic impact.
