Venture College :: What We Do
More than just business
Entrepreneurship is more than just starting a business -it’s about creating value. From educators running an after school program, college students creating a side hustle, or an engineer creating a gadget, the root of Venture College is a desire to solve problems and be creative in the ways we create value.
Lion’s Innovation Showcase
Come celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit at A&M University-Commerce. Every spring the Lion Community comes together to showcase what we’re made of. Open to all students, faculty, staff and high school youth. Come be part of an exhibition or competition in one of the categories of Business, Art, and Innovation for a chance to win cash prizes.

Networking Nights
We want our students to excel. Meeting with industry leaders is one way we’re making this happen. Networking Nights enable our students to learn from industry experts. Students present a 2-minute pitch of their idea to investors and spend the evening networking with them. In Fall 2019, Venture College held its first Networking Night at the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce. Over 80 guests participated in the event.
Want to get involved to pitch your idea or attend to scout the ideas? Let us know!
