MBC Alumni Association

Mission: Connect and Empower a Global MBC Community of “Dreamers and Doers”

In 2019, we launched the Master of Business Creation (MBC) program. Since then, more than 250 companies have experienced the MBC. Shortly, we will graduate our first group of entrepreneurs from Africa. It is time to up our game and bring our mission to fruition.

All graduates of the MBC program are welcome and encouraged to join the MBC Alumni Association. We have announced new leadership of the program and have several new benefits and programs coming that will provide networking opportunities, access to key resources, events, and more. Stay connected and continue to benefit from this award-winning program as a member of the alumni network.

In partnership with:

Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute
