ABOUT US

New ventures are a dime a dozen these days -- if you live in a tiny strip of California. In the rest of the world, and here in Ann Arbor, engineers aren't spinning their class projects into businesses and art students aren't dropping out of school to run their own clothing line. And that's the problem.

Our mission is to expose students to entrepreneurship and to support student ventures.

So the goal of MPowered is two-fold: one, to bring the few daring self-starters among us into an open forum to collaborate and converse, and two, to spread their bold passion to the rest of the U-M community. In short, we want to start the fire.
