Without the generous backing of our friends at Origin Ventures, our journey wouldn't have been possible. The iVenture Accelerator, an integral part of the Origin Ventures Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership, owes its resounding success to the gracious gift from Steve Miller (BS '87) and Bruce Barron (BS '77).
Moreover, Steve Miller and Bruce Barron have consistently demonstrated their unwavering dedication by actively engaging with each and every one of our student entrepreneurs, and will do so again, this summer, in person, in Chicago.
Once again, we extend our appreciation to Origin Ventures for their support of iVenture and the other initiatives within the Origin Ventures Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership at Gies Business.
Keep an eye on our social media channels in the upcoming year as we share our entrepreneurial journeys!
