Accelerate your career.

The Technology Entrepreneur Center helps you develop an entrepreneurial mindset,
changing the way you see the world to tackle important challenges.

“If you’re thinking of doing anything entrepreneurial, you need to participate in TEC programs and academics. TEC gives you the tools and resources you need to succeed in both startups and large companies. The skills I’ve learned have been invaluable at my internships at John Deere and Anheuser Busch, and with my own personal startup.”
