Mission

The mission of the Brown EP is to:
  1. Support entrepreneurial learning of Brown University undergraduate and graduate students.
  2. Enable and encourage Brown students to create innovative entrepreneurial ventures.  
  3. Create a closely-knit entrepreneurial community of Brown students, faculty, and alumni.
 
EP brings students and Brown alumni together
EP brings students, Brown alumni, and
professionals together to foster entrepreneurship
.

EP familiarizes and coaches students about entrepreneurship, while helping them recruit support for their for-profit or non-profit ventures. We achieve this primarily by providing a unique venture development program that includes a $50,000 business plan contest. To date, approximately 5,400 students, 1,000 alumni, and 30 faculty members have participated in EP. More than 200 student teams have completed business plans, and several have gone on to turn their ventures into Success Stories. These and other newsworthy successes of the program have been recognized by several publications, including Fortune and Fast Company.
