Our Entrepreneurship Ecosystem

The most valuable class I took at Rice Business was New Enterprise. Everything you learn at Rice Business comes to fruition in this class. It was a pivotal moment during my time as an MBA student that helped me move into venture capital.

Co-Founder and Chief of Staff of The Collectiv

Rice's courses in entrepreneurship really helped me find my monetization strategy as a social entrepreneur. Having conversations, getting feedback from amazing professors, the support from the Rice community — it really kept me motivated.
