Entrepreneurship Program
We help you assess your current program, define processes, look at curriculum, and help you create a common language between faculty, student, and mentor, to ensure the best lean startup practices are utilized. We show you the best practices to compete at national and International Business Model Competitions (IBMC) and other business plan competitions. Where appropriate, we suggest how to build a donor network to help fund parts of your program. Ultimately, we want your program and teams to succeed. |

Mentoring Program
With experience working at some of the top universities in the world, we help you establish a world-class entrepreneurial mentoring program. The days of having only a resident mentor(s) are obsolete, and speeches at your launch pads, incubators, accelerators are important but not enough. We not only show you the process, but we also help you with our global management society find and build a mentoring network, train the mentors on how to best help the mentees, establish processes and codes of conduct, and in some cases recommend backend software to track the relationships. |
Are your services really free?
Fees
In many instances our services are free, or at little or no direct cost and in exchange for scholarships that we give back to your financially challenged, college eligible students whom we believe will make an economic impact in your region. These are scholarships that most universities already have; we simply help in the decision making process. Our "for profit" clients are billed on a consulting basis and then donate the equivalent amount or more to our endowment which helps fund GMS operations. Contact us to see how we can help your school, or to donate.
