Idaho Entrepreneurs
Every year ideas are brought to life through Idaho Entrepreneurs. Guided by program director George Tanner, students develop the skills to identify and commercialize their ideas and create business, operational and financial plans for ventures. The program offers:
- Classes open to all U of I majors
- An entrepreneurship certificate that can be combined with any degree
- The opportunity for students to present their ideas at pitch competitions across the United States, including the Idaho Pitch, and compete for cash prizes.
Why Idaho Entrepreneurs?
Idaho Entrepreneurs provides students a unique opportunity to move their innovative idea from the classroom into the marketplace. These hands-on experiences provide opportunities for professional networking, developing partnerships and cultivating real world skills. Students will also be ready to speak with potential employers about their experience collaborating with multiple entrepreneurs on a project touching all aspects of business.
