MBA TechVenture Fellowship

Every year dozens of inventions happen all over MSU’s campus, and a portion of those will have significant commercial potential. While some are licensed to big companies, many are ripe for the right entrepreneur to turn into a great startup company. In many cases, the support infrastructure is there to support, but there is no one to take the idea and build the startup around it. The MBA TechVenture Fellowship provides an assistantship to MBA students with a technical background to explore launching a startup based on university intellectual property. The program is a partnership between the E-Center, MBA Program, and Office of Technology Management.
