Students work out of offices provided by the Boulder Technology Incubator and manage every aspect of their business, from strategic planning to marketing to finance. I would talk to people from different companies, and they didn't really need an intern - they needed a team of students to work on a project. Nock plans to make the solutions group a permanent part of the center. Nonprofit Organizations Six entrepreneurial MBAs and one undergraduate student are interning with nonprofit organizations through a joint program with the center and Boulder's Community Foundation. CU-Boulder's Center for Entrepreneurship is among five other programs across the country to receive funding from the Kauffman Foundation to host a social entrepreneur program.
Students develop cash flow and marketing plans and do feasibility studies for the organizations.
Real Estate MBA Dave Decker, for example, is helping the St. Vrain Historical Society turn its Historic Hover Home into a place for community events and receptions. Computer Science Undergraduates Five undergraduates who are majoring in computer science round out the program and are working on software-related projects for a variety of companies. They run the gamut from nonprofit organizations to dynamic growth companies. Projects include financial analyses and feasibility studies, developing marketing plans, and researching business development concepts.
