Providing exposure and opportunity
We meet students where they are with access points and general exposure for the curious as well as skill development and in-depth learning opportunities for the highly engaged. We serve and support:
Disruptors/Innovators developing an entrepreneurial mindset applicable in organizations of all types; Founders/Growers creating, leading and growing scalable new ventures; and Investors/Connectors managing funds and pooling resources in venture capital formation

Student Opportunities
The CEI Fellows Program recognizes Goizueta Business School students who BOTH exhibit an entrepreneurial mindset (whether starting their own business or innovating at a company) AND demonstrate commitment to the Goizueta entrepreneurship initiative. Those selected as Fellows have access to the necessary hands-on education, exposure and experiences to develop their capabilities as life-long entrepreneurs. Both Master's level students and BBAs may apply to become fellows.
