The Duke Entrepreneurial Leaders Network has opened applications for graduating entrepreneurial graduate students to apply to its next cohort.

ELN is a select group of Duke alumni and students who are committed to founding or leading an innovation-drive startup.

ELN members see the potential of science and technology to positively impact society and possess the bold spirit needed to start and scale organizations that support that mission. These dedicated entrepreneurs will improve their communities by creating economic value and jobs, delivering solutions to large-scale problems, and building durable new ventures. Members are invited to engage with Duke IP ready to be spun out, as well as to connect with local entrepreneurial leaders seeking senior talent to enable their growth.

ELN is part of a broader comprehensive suite of programs that prepare and support entrepreneurial Duke students and alumni, including courses like New Ventures Fellows, New Ventures Development, New Ventures Clinic: Healthcare, Design Health, and Duke Start-Up Ventures Clinic, along with co-curricular programs such as the Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Club, the Student Founder ProgramMelissa & Doug EntrepreneursDuke Capital PartnersNew Venture Fellows, and OTC Fellows.
