ENCOURAGING
DISCOVERY

The first step in accomplishing our mission is by encouraging students to discover the boundless possibilities of the vast network of university-wide entrepreneurship and startup resources. Additionally, through our innovative curriculum guided by seasoned entrepreneurial leaders, students gain the cutting-edge education needed to succeed in today’s dynamic business landscape.

The HKEC engages students with a nexus of Longhorn leaders and fellow students who embody the entrepreneurial mindset, providing space to forge lifelong connections. What's more, we believe in learning by doing. That's why we provide a safe, low-risk environment for students to put their skills into action, empowering them with real-world experience that sets them apart from the rest.
