From all industries
We engage in projects with venture capital firms, health care companies, start-ups, nonprofits, and many more. The companies to the right are only a snapshot of the numerous projects completed since 2011.
Every semester, we accept 7-8 projects, which are carefully selected based on our skillset and the client's proposal. Projects typically last one semester, but it is not uncommon for clients to request continued work and develop more long-term relationships with our organization.
“The BUCC group is a professional and cohesive team that worked well with our people. Within 8 weeks of collaboration, we had a new company strategy as of result of their analysis studies. They helped Kodewin Systems create market strategies for customers, products, and technology solutions.”

Together we review my challenge, draft a strategy and then they flex their muscles. Their deliverables are first rate and their enthusiasm is contagious. I wholeheartedly recommend the BUCC team without reservations!”
