The University of North Dakota Center for Innovation fosters hands on learning through Mueller Entrepreneur Internships (funding students to start a venture) and the Dakota Venture Group, the nation's first fully student run venture fund where the students need to source deals, screen, conduct due diligence, negotiate investment terms, syndicated with angel funds and other investors, close deals, manage portfolio, and arrange for exits. They work closely with nine area angel funds. They also invest in student ventures. More than 100 students have participated so far in this vibrant entrepreneur and angel investor ecosystem.
