Entrepreneur Like Me CMURC Fund

 
 

The Entrepreneur Like ME CMURC Fund is not only a vital resource for entrepreneurs, it is a catalyst for job creation and community impact. By supporting businesses through their various stages of growth, the fund helps entrepreneurs create sustainable companies that generate local employment and contribute to the economic vitality of their communities.

When businesses thrive, they create opportunities for workers, suppliers and partners. This fund is designed to nurture innovation, drive growth, and build strong, resilient businesses that hire locally, provide fair wages and support community development. 

In this way, the Entrepreneur Like ME CMURC Fund becomes a long-term driver of positive social change. By championing the growth of small businesses, the fund plays an essential role in shaping a stronger, more resilient future for generations to come. The fund was established by the Central Michigan University Research Corporation in 2024.
