About Us

Our Mission:  To assist UMD graduate students pursuing careers in either the entrepreneurial sector or venture capital industry.  To provide education and aid to students creating their own businesses.

The Entrepreneurship Club plans to host events to support three tracks of career interest among students:

  1. Entrepreneurship - We want to help you start your business or just kick around ideas!
  2. Venture Capital - Learn how to evaluate startups and how to structure the deal.

In the 2007-2008 school year the club is will be sending several teams to the top business plan competitions in the country. To prep club members to win business plan competitions, we will host a seminar on crafting a business plan, followed by business plan review sessions. Our premier event is held in February, when we host a local round of the Venture Capital Investment Competition and train the winning team to succeed in later rounds.
