Mentoring Program

Many success stories for business start-up begin with the advice and assistance of a key individual - somebody who "knows the ropes" and is willing to provide guidance to the new business owner, based on actual and successful experience. A mentor relationship can be one of the most valuable assets an entrepreneur can have. Through the Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship Mentoring Program, you will be matched with a successful entrepreneur who has business interests similar to yours.

Venture Capital Assistance

The Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship has cultivated mutually beneficial relationships with business leaders, corporations, professional societies, organizations, and private funding sources from around the world. As a result, the Center is plugged into a network of potential funders who will provide venture capital for student-generated businesses. As a student in the program, you'll be eligible to compete for start-up funding to launch your new business venture. We'll also work with you to strategize what other opportunities you have and how to go about converting prospective leads into business backers.

Field Research In Entrepreneurship

There's no better teacher than experience. At the Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship, graduate students design and complete applied research projects which focus on improving the success of Nebraska entrepreneurs. By finding real solutions to real problems, students prepare for their own "real life" after graduation and significantly broaden the career opportunities open to them.
