The Purpose University Incubator

Our 24-hour Incubator uses a proprietary curriculum to help students find their purpose in life, and then our 5-step process to legally start a business or nonprofit corporation in 24-hours.

Purpose University Students are:
Adult learners looking for meaning, fulfillment, and additional income...
College students looking to spur their social-entrepreneurial spirit...
Individuals looking to start a nonprofit or faith-based organization...
Individuals looking to start a freelance business...
Purpose University is founded on the following basic principles:
  1. All people have unique skills and abilities.
    • Purpose University is dedicated to helping individuals cultivate their unique gifts and talents.
    • We use our proven process to help individuals build a unique enterprise or nonprofit organization.
  2. Education should be free.
    • The rising cost of education and the increasing flexibility of online courses are changing the educational landscape.
    • Our educational resources provide an opportunity for students to move in the direction of their destiny, at an affordable price.
  3. Education should be centered around the student.
    • Education should be relevant to the student’s culture, history, and identity.
    • Education should not force people to conform to a certain ideal.
  4. Education should be Inner-Directed.
    • Education should help individuals to make their own choices independent of outside influences.
    • Each life decision should be evaluated by asking: “Is this truly my decision or are external pressures making this decision for me?”
  5. Start with Purpose.
    • Center your business or non-profit around your life's purpose
    • Allow the purpose of your organization to become the most important factor.​

"Purpose University provided me with tools to begin making a vision a reality. Dr. Derrick Drakeford's compassionate and personal attention helped me see that I am capable of creating a nonprofit that serves the community more expansively than I had initially envisioned. His guidance and support brought the useful ebooks to life by applying direct steps to getting started. I am grateful that I took the opportunity to work with Purpose University."
