New Venture Lab

Testimonials and Pictures

"Upon my arrival to the MBA program at Iowa State, I started to look for a job that would help keep my connection with the actual business environment while at school. The New Venture Lab at ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship is an excellent place to practice and hone interpersonal and technical skills that I am learning in academia."	Andriy Ignatov

"Working in the new venture lab at the Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship is as valuable for me as completing my MBA. It gives me the exposure to various industries, which I wouldn't have ever explored otherwise. Above all, it is inculcating in me techniques and tools that are required to be an entrepreneur, which is my ultimate career goal. Honestly speaking, the Pappajohn Center of Entrepreneurship was one important thing that motivated me to join my MBA at ISU."	Pooja Arora

"Working at the New Venture Lab has provided me with the opportunity to broaden my knowledge while working with businesses in a variety of industries. Assisting these businesses with marketing, financing and overall business planning has been a great experience!"	Chad Wellhausen

"Working in the New Venture Lab has broadened my educational experience, giving me a background in marketing and business that I would never have been able to find through my class work. Coming from a science and technologies field (veterinary medicine), I had little experience with market research and business plan writing; I have learned invaluable skills working along side students with business and marketing disciplines."
