The NC State Entrepreneurship Alliance has a small team available to assist with marketing-related efforts that enhance entrepreneurship at NC State. Options include photography, videography, feature writing and graphic design that help us tell your program’s story to a broader audience. We’d love to work with you to help tell the story of NC State Entrepreneurship!
Entrepreneurship Garage Classroom
The classroom at the Entrepreneurship Garage is available for Alliance partners to reserve for events or gatherings focused on entrepreneurship. Requests can be submitted at any time and a member of our team will reach out within 1-2 business days to let you know of availability. We have recently installed a Link Bridge camera and microphone in the Garage classroom to help live stream or record events or to host virtual classes.
NC State Entrepreneurship Fund
