VENTURE CREATION

At the Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, we guide students through every step of their entrepreneurial journey with our structured Venture Creation process. 

Starting with the Discovery Program, teams explore and develop their business plans with access to financial, legal, and other valuable resources  through the MSU Library, laying a strong foundation for success. Once their concept is ready to grow, teams advance to the Launch Program, where they develop, refine, and scale their ventures with the support of tailored resources, expert guidance, and access to funding opportunities. Students can also immerse in our highly competitive Momentum Pre-Accelerator program which provides deeper access to resources and one-on-one mentorship. Creators and makers can promote their products and services through our online and on campus marketplace, Student-Made Michigan State.

Whether you’re just starting out or ready to take your idea to market, our programs are designed to help you turn your vision into reality.
