New Venture Lab: Learn Business by Doing Business

Learn Business by Doing Business


New Venture Lab

New Venture Lab pairs student consulting teams with local business owners tackling genuine challenges.

Students conduct research, develop solutions, and deliver a written action plan the entrepreneur keeps and can implement. No simulations. No hypotheticals.

The program is built for three groups of people.

Entrepreneurs who have a specific area of their business they want to improve and are ready to engage fully with a team working on their behalf.

Students looking to develop consulting skills, lead client relationships, and build a professional track record before graduation.

Business Advisors who want to put their expertise to work coaching the next generation of business professionals through live engagements.

If any of that sounds like you, the pages below are a good place to start.
