Our priority at the Center for Entrepreneurship at Wake Forest University is to educate and inspire entrepreneurial leaders through engaged teaching, coaching and mentoring within a robust and vibrant entrepreneurial culture. We graduate students who have experienced the entrepreneurial life cycle. They will move from idea to concept, venture to scale and then to harvest.
The Center for Entrepreneurship offers a minor in Entrepreneurship and co-curricular programs such a Deacon Springboard (students develop valuable ideas into concepts) and Startup Lab (our most fervent students develop concepts into ventures via access to mentors and robust seed capital).
By 2025, our vision is for the Wake Forest Center for Entrepreneurship to be a model by which other liberal arts entrepreneurship programs are measured.
Backed by science.
Metaphorical in approach. Game-based for fun. Played in groups. Online or in person.
Don’t define entrepreneurial mindset. Experience it.
