The Office of Entrepreneurship provides programming around innovation, education, venture creation, and making connections to support GW entrepreneurs and the Mid-Atlantic startup community. Founded in 2010, the office has worked with thousands of students, faculty, and alumni, and serves as a focal point for entrepreneurship at the George Washington University. It leverages the unique strengths of our university's schools in the nation's capital to serve society at large through the knowledge and practice of entrepreneurship. Thanks to the efforts of the office, GW became one of the eleven universities worldwide designated as National Science Foundation Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Nodes, which promote the Lean Startup Approach for building successful startups. In 2013, with the help of our office's operations, the George Washington University was placed among the Princeton Review's top 25 universities with the best graduate entrepreneurship programs in the nation. The Office of Entrepreneurship also administers the New Venture Competition (previously called the GW Business Plan Competition) since its inception in 2009.
