Founders Club

The Founder’s Club at UMass Dartmouth is a student-run business association that supports students who run or aspire to run their own businesses. We help student entrepreneurs grow through cross-promotion, mentorship workshops, and hands-on problem-solving.

We collaborate closely with university partners, faculty, SGA, and the broader student body to advocate for student-run ventures and create opportunities for skill-building and real business development.

At our core, we empower students to BYOB- Build Your Own Business and bring their ideas to life.

We support students to run businesses and give entrepreneurs opportunities to test ideas, sell products, and ask questions to people who have been in their shoes before.

Our board leads budgeting, project planning, and strategic initiatives, while our members help shape the club’s direction through democratic voting and active participation.
