The Insider's Guide to Entrepreneurship

The entrepreneur's life is rarely easy: it's often long hours, financial insecurity, and plenty of rejection. But for those who make it through those early days, the payoff is often more than money—it's the pride of building something from the ground up and making a concrete impact on the world.

MSU is committed to the men and women who choose to blaze entrepreneurial paths. From the moment students step on campus, they have support and resources to transform a good idea into reality. And when, years later, they've successfully built their million- or billion-dollar business? They have the opportunity to share their best advice with the next generation of dreamers and doers.

Follow us on the journey of the entrepreneur, from the beginnings of an idea to the hard work of who can help, and alumni whose companies are thriving.
