Alumni Venture Support

SPARTANS HELPING SPARTANS

Your alma mater will always be a place for support and inspiration. The Alumni Venture Support Program connects Michigan State University alumni with valuable resources and opportunities in their entrepreneurial journey. The program offers initiatives like the Spartans for Startups Internship Program, which provides hands-on experience for students interning with innovative companies and provides financial support to a Spartan owned or led early-stage company. Additionally, the Startup Career Fair brings together MSU students and small, early-stage companies for networking and career opportunities. The program also includes the Spartan Angel Network, which supports startup ventures through mentorship and investment, enabling alumni and community members to engage with startups in a meaningful way. Collectively, these initiatives empower the MSU entrepreneurial ecosystem by facilitating connections, fostering talent development, and supporting new business growth.
