Welcome to Entreprize, the Service Action Program with a focus on helping young, minority and nonprofit startups in the Raleigh triangle area to succeed at no cost.

Our Mission:

When starting a business there are many obstacles that can make it difficult to survive. According to the Small Business Association, 30% of all businesses fail in the first two years. Many of the problems novice entrepreneurs face are due to lack of education, tools or mentors. Entreprize solves this issue by hosting networking events and workshop sessions for local startup leaders. The goal of the program is to pair up assist startups in three ways. The first is to pair students with startups. Startup leaders would discuss their biggest concerns and the students they are working with would use critical thinking to attempt to solve these problems. This program would not only teach students to become better leaders, collaborators and critical thinkers but would provide professional level consulting to startups without the outrageous cost of traditional consulting. In addition to the student-company teams, Entreprize aims the throw social events for entrepreneurs to meet people facing the same challenges they are. This will provide a way for them to better network and learn from others who might have solved the problems they are facing. Lastly, Entreprize will host education workshops lead by community entrepreeurs to share their biggest discoveries so that other entrepreneurs can learn from their mistakes and knowledge.
