Join us in-person for the fifth annual Burgess New Venture Challenge on Thursday, April 13, 2023, from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM at the Graduate East Lansing!

The Burgess New Venture Challenge, hosted by the Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Michigan State University, is the premier pitch competition for student venturers. For nearly two centuries, Spartans have ventured to feed a hungry world, fight cancer, invent new technologies, and kindle the imaginations of learners around the globe. We empowered our Spartan venturers to harness the power of the entrepreneurial mindset, work together, and leverage their team’s strengths to create a winning startup.
