The Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEI) approaches entrepreneurship with a unique method.  It is based on meeting the needs of its clients through fully personalized and customized programming and support.

We understand the entrepreneurial personality and provide our clients with an environment in which they can flourish and reach their greatest potential.  Instead of offering structured courses, we find a unique and innovative pathway to successful results for our clients. 

With a clear, relatable path to success in place, we believe it is possible to bring a great idea into fruition, regardless of skill level or experience.  Memphis is a hotspot of people with an entrepreneurial spirit and innovative ideas.  We specialize in serving those who belong to traditionally underserved populations and creating their pathway of success without regard to their educational or socioeconomic background.

The CEI takes full advantage of opportunities and does not support a passive course of action.  The vitality of this program is dependent on innovation and the ability to react quickly, and our clients' results uphold this.  See Our Startups for some of their success stories.
