With Who? The Lisbon MBA Entrepreneurship Club

The Lisbon MBA Entrepreneurship Club (LEC for short) is embedded with this spirit of building and launching business ideas. We know that the process, albeit fun, of starting a business is extremely difficult and sometimes maddening but so is anything else that provides the same amount of thrill and accomplishment. The LEC will provide tools, engaging workshops, interested mentors and access to funding, making the process a bit easier leveraging on the sponsorship of The Lisbon MBA, the Portuguese top MBA program in partnership with Católica and Nova Business Schools.

Our aim is to bring The Lisbon MBA community to this project, and that includes all Students and Alumni interested in Entrepreneurship. We believe that the ever present international component of The Lisbon MBA enables the creation of a strong community with not only successful entrepreneurs but also other professionals who have succeeded in the business world. Through this dynamic Club, they all can connect or reconnect, exchange ideas and opinions, make contacts, create something together. The LEC is the opportunity for all current students and alumni (wherever they may be) to engage and make things happen!
