Center of Entrepreneurial Finance (CEF) aims to advance and disseminate research examining how entrepreneurial entities acquire, manage and transfer financial resources. It serves three main purposes. First, it promotes and facilitates research activities that examine important and interesting questions in entrepreneurial finance. Second, it creates opportunities for students to participate in entrepreneurial finance research and start-up activities. Third, it provides a platform connecting faculty, regional entrepreneurs, and relevant stakeholders, e.g., venture capitalists, business angels, & corporations, to expedite the processes of knowledge creation, diffusion and utilization.
