MBA Pathways: High Growth Venture Community and Resources Page

Scaleups are critical drivers of economic growth and job creation worldwide, with a sizable presence in Boulder’s renowned entrepreneurial community. In the High Growth Venture Pathway, students work directly with faculty, entrepreneurs, accelerators and investors to learn how to: rapidly scale a good idea, build a unique organizational culture, and pivot quickly when a roadblock emerges. Opportunities to practice these skills come from Leeds’ corporate partners like Techstars, the Foundry Group, Cloudability, Jumpcloud and Boomtown.

Join the High Growth Ventures MBA Pathway community to connect with like-minded professionals, share insights, and collaborate on high growth ventures, careers in leadership, data/product management, business development, entrepreneurial finance, consulting, or joining an accelerator. Together with the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship and Graduate Student Services, the High Growth Ventures MBA Pathway community can shape a more sustainable and equitable future.
