Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship at Texas A&M

The Texas A&M Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship (CNVE) provides encouragement, education, networking and assistance to entrepreneurially-minded students, faculty and Texas businesses. Founded in 1999, CNVE is part of Mays Business School's Department of Management. CNVE enhances student education through campus speakers, competitions, work experiences and financial support. The Texas A&M faculty and Office of Technology Commercialization benefit from CNVE's educational programs, extensive business community network and the entrepreneurial services. CNVE also reaches out to the state's business community offering educational programs, business assistance and access to University resources. In addition to the Aggie 100, one of CNVE's key programs is the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities-an intense training for veterans interested in starting a business. CNVE is supported by corporate and individual members and sponsors who believe in the value of an entrepreneurial education program and the value of Texas businesses working with Texas A&M University.
