Here we go again! We’re gearing up for the 2024/25 academic year at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and I’m once again seeking Urban Entrepreneur Partners to work with my students. The course is Urban Entrepreneurship Practicum, where each partner business works with a team of students in the class. Each team of 4-6 students works with their Urban Entrepreneur Partner to understand the business model and to engineer changes that will enhance the business. The experience has proven to be profound for many students, and has served as useful “food for thought” for the Urban Entrepreneur Partners. If you know of a business that may be interested in participating with the course, please complete the nomination form.
