Startup entrepreneurship and venture capital is all about overcoming challenges and solving problems.

Startup businesses operate with limited resources and capacity. At the department of entrepreneurship, we teach students by immersing them in experiences like this to better understand how to add value and make a difference in those communities.

Whether you start a new venture, you constantly seek opportunities, or you want to add value in a fast-paced high impact environment, the department of entrepreneurship works to build and train the growing startup workforce.

Our approach to startup entrepreneurship at Miami is real-world where students roll up their sleeves and start doing! We work alongside successful entrepreneurs locally, nationally and around the world, and learn by doing.
