The Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship helps you explore opportunities, connect with mentors and turn ideas into action. No business plan (or specific major) required.
Students come to IBIE from every corner of campus—from music production and dance to biology and computer science.
Some want to launch a business, but others want to create a nonprofit, develop a product, grow a creative project or solve a challenge they've encountered in their community, workplace or field of study. What brings them together is a willingness to explore ideas, ask questions and try something new.
At IBIE, you'll find opportunities to test ideas, learn from experienced mentors and gain hands-on experience that helps you think differently about innovation, problem-solving and possibilities.
Great ideas grow faster when people invest in them.
Alumni, business leaders and community members help students explore entrepreneurship by sharing their expertise, providing feedback and supporting programs that create opportunities for hands-on learning.
Whether you're interested in mentoring, judging competitions, speaking with students or supporting entrepreneurial programs financially, your involvement helps students gain experience, build confidence and move ideas forward.
