At the Leeds School's top-ranked Deming Center for Entrepreneurship, students are a force for change. They see the opportunity for markets to address pressing global needs, and they find the tools to make it happen. They bring an understanding of the role of new technologies and create new businesses like Sky Energy and Rocky Mountain Sustainable Enterprises . They identify market needs for sustainable products and services and put their ideas into action by launching companies like Sambazon juices and Big Clean Trucks . They foster environmental and social change by joining companies like Econergy, a climate change and energy consulting firm, and Perry Rose , a developer doing green building design. Our Sustainable Venturing Initiative marries the best of entrepreneurial innovation with cutting-edge strategies that lead to a more sustainable world. Through courses, projects, and internships, students apply their business skills to solve real-world challenges and capture opportunities in new market niches. Whether they’re independent entrepreneurs or “intrapreneurs” working within a corporation, our graduates are driving new approaches, designing new products, and creating solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems.

The exposure to such high caliber venture capitalists and entrepreneurs was quite a privilege!"
