Whether you’re new to entrepreneurship, want to experience the highs, lows and pressure of developing a business idea or are exploring working in a startup environment, 2DAY VENTURE (2DV) welcomes all undergraduate and graduate students at Michigan State University to bring their business ideas—no matter how developed it is—and form teams to develop early-stage ideas in this fun, immersive experience.

2DV is not a hackathon or pitch competition. It’s a 36-hour entrepreneurial workshop and experience for Spartans, regardless of their home college, major, or background, to explore turning an idea or innovation into reality in just two days.

Join the Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation for 2DAY VENTURE: Fall Session on Oct. 2-3, 2026 in Entrepreneurship Lab. Early registration is highly encouraged.
