The Kenneth W. Monfort College of Business at UNC is committed to providing students with real-world opportunities and hands-on experiences to prepare them to enter the business world after graduation.   

Today on Bears Give Back Giving Day, we hope you will consider supporting the Entrepreneurship Fund, which supports all things entrepreneurship at UNC, including our annual Entrepreneurial Challenge as well as a vision for the future of Entrepreneurship at MCB.  

The Entrepreneurial Challenge is an annual competition for startup ventures that provides essential  education, networking, and marketing opportunities for both current UNC students and Colorado-based startups. The challenge includes both an open division for Colorado-based entrepreneurs and a collegiate division for student-run businesses. 

In addition, MCB has aspirations of creating a new Innovation Hub, which will include a business incubator called the Hibernation Lab. The goal is to host and financially support six student-led startups each year. In addition, the lab will host programming that will support entrepreneurship at both the high school and collegiate level. 

Your gift will support scholarships for students who dedicate their time and energy to propel the entrepreneurial spirit forward. Your support would also help us meet our goal of supporting student-run startup initiatives, further enhancing our ability to provide real-world experiences to our students. We hope you will consider making a gift to support current and future business leaders at UNC – your gift, of any amount, makes a big difference.
