Queen's School of Business Centre for Business Venturing

Our vision is to become the leading and definitive source of knowledge and expertise in the creation, leadership and management of new ventures. We will accomplish this through five major areas of activity:

1. Embed new venture thinking and preparedness in our curriculum by offering mandatory entrepreneurship courses on all our programs, as well as a slate of elective courses including one that provides students the opportunity to invest monies from our Tricolour Venture Fund
2. Provide access to a variety of pools of capital to fund new venture, including several business plan competitions
3. Conduct applied research in the field of business venturing, with a focus on managing growth and private equity
4. Broker knowledge and relationships within the broader new venture community and act a hub for these
5. Influence key decision makers within organizations that play in the entrepreneur’s domain, including key government bodies

With our long history of innovation, we view it as our responsibility at Queen’s School of Business to be at the forefront of tackling the challenge of understanding the key success factors for entrepreneurial ventures, and translating these into long-term sustainability and growth for these important enterprises. The Queen’s School of Business Centre for Business Venturing is committed to these ends.
