Giving
The NC State Entrepreneurship fund is used to support programs, activities and initiatives designed to advance all facets of entrepreneurship in support of students, faculty/staff and alumni.
About NC State Entrepreneurship
We support, promote and advance a culture of entrepreneurship throughout the university community by providing resources, fostering collaboration and enhancing communications in support of NC State students, faculty, staff and alumni. We are an alliance of more than a dozen entrepreneurship programs and units across NC State. Together, we represent a broad spectrum of entrepreneurship — social, business, technical — and foster a campus community of entrepreneurial leaders that embody NC State’s Think and Do spirit.
Make an Impact
Anyone can become an entrepreneur at NC State. In 2019, more than 7,000 students participated in entrepreneurship offerings, and 14 percent of the student population enrolled in an entrepreneurship course. These and other entrepreneurship experiences helped NC State students and alumni start more than 100 companies over the past five years.
Your support builds NC State’s entrepreneurial community and enhances our academic programs, faculty talent, cutting-edge tools and investor networks.
