    University of Michigan students discover entrepreneurship isn't simply a business model – it's a mindset.  

We are leaders in entrepreneurship and venture investing

In 1927, the University of Michigan offered the nation's first Small Business Management course at its Business School. Today, the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies is leading the development of the next generation of serial entrepreneurs and venture investors.
