  At Venture Lab, we strive to stay entrepreneurial ourselves. Rather than relying on yesterday’s solutions, we innovate and iterate, testing new programs and getting feedback on their usefulness and relevance. This is why, whether you’re two years out or twenty, you may notice some changes. Some things do stay the same, however. One is our dedication to providing the very best entrepreneurial education to our students. Another is the importance of support from our alumni, whose gifts make everything we do possible.
