2 DAY VENTURE (2DV) is a hands-on learning experience designed exclusively for Spartans at Michigan State University, regardless of home college, major, or background. Each event offers unbeatable entrepreneurial education resources & the freedom to explore turning a project or idea into reality — all packed into 36 hours.
2DV encourages students of all majors, skillsets, & experience levels to embrace the entrepreneurial mindset. For students enrolled in the Minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation, 2DV qualifies as a required high-impact experience toward the Minor.
No Project or Idea? No Problem!
You don’t have to have a venture idea or project to participate in 2DV! There will be an opportunity prior to the event for you to choose which venture idea or project you like the most, & decide which teams you would like to join!
2 DAY VENTURE is designed for Spartans to create & build a new venture with a team, not by yourself.
