Members of the Entrepreneur Association are consistently successful when seeking investment during their time at Anderson through our strong connection to private investors in our alumni community. Together, EA and the Price Center facilitate formal opportunities for you to gain exposure to your growing businesses and you as a developing entrepreneur. Two primary examples are our annual Knapp Business Plan Competition and various fellowships provided through generous alumni and Anderson affiliates which provide essential early-stage capital for students. Even if you come to UCLA Anderson without a fully developed business idea, EA will coordinate workshops and mentorship programs so that you can take your idea from scratch to a completed business plan - not to mention the possibility of getting some funding to give you a real shot at starting your business.

No matter what stage you are in your entrepreneurial career, EA will support you and will connect you to the right people and resoures to catalyze your business and entrepreneurial growth. Join EA and help us fulfill our vision to support UCLA Anderson as a global premier entrepreneurial hub.
