HKEC's Donor

COMMUNITY

MEET OUR DONORS

The Herb Kelleher Entrepreneurship Center would like to thank the donors behind our programming for their generous support of Texas Entrepreneurs. Through their gifts, our donors enable Longhorn founders to launch and grow startups from a position of strength and confidence. Their commitment ensures that generations of student entrepreneurs will have the resources, community, and opportunities they need to succeed.

At the HKEC, we believe that ‘What Starts (Up) Here’ truly does change the world and we are grateful to our donors for making that vision possible.
