Ideas for new businesses are constantly in motion. Luckily K-State students majoring in business and other academic disciplines have the opportunity to utilize resources that can assist their entrepreneurial ideas.
The Center for the Advancement of Entrepreneurship was founding in 2008 with the goal of promoting entrepreneurship throughout the K-State campus and local community. The Center offers students both academic and non-academic experiences.
Since 2010, K-State students have had an opportunity to participate in K-State Launch, an entrepreneurship idea competition. More than $20,000 annually is awarded to the best K-State Launch ideas. Students submit an executive summary of their business idea and plan and judges select finalists. Finalists present in front of the judges at the K-State Launch finals on March 11.
K-State students can also take advantage of the Venture Accelerator, which is work space right across the street from campus. The Venture Incubator assists students with their entrepreneurial ideas and helps students start their own business.
Stay tuned for a future post covering the winning K-State Launch ideas.
