Personal coaching
sessions

Students can be paired with trained faculty and the “Venture Mentors” - a group of external, successful business owners - for just informal coaching on their ideas or for formal instruction in theories of entrepreneurship, financial or market modeling.

Pitch &
Competition Nights

Here students can practice the art of public speaking and selling their idea. It's an opportunity to meet up, connect with other students and local area entrepreneurs. We know that so much of the success of startups and businesses depends on forming meaningful and trustworthy relationships. These sessions will provide the opportunity and guiding framework for doing so.

Speaker series & venture
mentorship

Business or social venturing can be difficult. The aim of the lecture series, then, is not only to help students understand that entrepreneurs often share the same challenging and emotional experiences but also to engage in meaningful conversations around human and civic virtue – i.e., to understand their place and purpose as potential business owner in a free society.

workshops

Be on the lookout for regular on-campus workshops aimed at teaching students how to identify problems that need fixing, opportunities that need cultivating, or needs that need to be met. Workshops aim at demystifying the practice of entrepreneurship and help students apply basic business concepts to real-world problems.

networking

Through our workshops, pitch and competition nights, and speaker series, let BCEx provide you the tools to network well. Networking and meeting other like-minded entrepreneurs matters for capital connectivity - that is, the ability for information and resources to flow through a local and engaged network of both business and potential business owners.
