Black Entrepreneurship in Atlanta Study

Modular EMBA students presenting

The Black Entrepreneurship in Atlanta Study examined the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Atlanta for black entrepreneurs looking at resources and funding sources to determine where and how the business school could partner and add value. In addition to providing internship opportunities for students and involve deep engagement with the local community, it will also result in case/academic material being produced to use in future classes. This study was funded by the Goizueta Business School Innovation Fund.
