Our Mission

At the Case Western Reserve University Veale Institute for Entrepreneurship, our mission is to give everyone in the CWRU community an opportunity to explore, develop, and demonstrate entrepreneurial skills. We empower students by leveraging frameworks that drive action, creating opportunities to collaborate and compete, and embracing failure as learning.  We support CWRU entrepreneurs as they think about their startups, do the work to move from idea to venture, and thrive at CWRU and beyond.

THINK, DO, THRIVE

The Veale Institute for Entrepreneurship at Case Western Reserve University is proud to announce the launch of its new campaign, THINK, DO, THRIVE. This initiative reflects the Institute’s commitment to fostering innovation, driving action, and nurturing sustainable success for CWRU entrepreneurs..

THINK

Our THINK programs are geared towards exploring entrepreneurship. We’re adding new Open House events and THINKFast pitch sessions to more established programs like our Veale Snyder Fellowships, Founder Fridays Speaker Series, and Skills Labs.

DO

Our DO programs are geared towards entrepreneurship in practice. We’ve doubled our microgrants and added Pitch Playground events to our wildly successful Morgenthaler-Pavey Startup Competition and expanding Veale Faculty Fellowship. 

THRIVE

Our THRIVE programs are geared towards scaling startups and building bridges to resources beyond campus.
