Alumni
NC State entrepreneurs don’t lose touch once they leave campus. Our alumni come back, collaborate and share their insights with the next generation.
Enterprising for Life
NC State alumni are everywhere in the world of entrepreneurship whether they start a business or turn to intrapreneurship within an existing organization. They include the founders of multinational companies like analytics software developer SAS and electronics giant Cree. But they’re also urban beekeepers, craft brewers, medical device manufacturers, award-winning chefs and everything in between.
NC State’s commitment to its entrepreneurs doesn’t end when they graduate. Many of the entrepreneurship resources available to students are also available to alumni — and those alumni form a powerful network of like-minded thinkers and doers.
Long after they leave here, our graduates maintain close ties to the NC State entrepreneurial ecosystem, returning to lend their insights and expertise — as well as their resources — to the university’s broader entrepreneurship effort.
There are many ways alumni can stay connected with our program.
- Connect with other alumni entrepreneurs
- Attend our events
- Seek help from the Small Business Technical Development Center
- Collaborate with companies that started on our campus through the Wolfpack Investor Network
- Participate as a mentor in the mentorship program
- Take advantage of the many services offered to startup companies and their partners
At NC State, we foster serial entrepreneurs, lifelong learners and entrepreneurial thinkers. We are proud of our Wolfpack alumni, their big ideas and all that they achieve in the wider world.
