The NCEA exists to make collegiate entrepreneurship a sport — with a season, a championship, and a national title worth training for.
OUR MISSION
The NCEA was created to be the first ever league for college aged entrepreneurs. The mission of the NCEA is to help democratize entrepreneurship at the college level by creating the worlds first league and tournament of it's kind to support founders as they think, build, and grow their businesses and their entrepreneurial dreams.
The NCEA was formed by Entrepreneurs Management Group (EMG.AI), the creators of the patent-pending Entrepreneurs Roadmap™ and the Entrepreneur-as-a-Service platform, through Ben™ the worlds first Entrepreneurs Agent™ and Forbes, the worlds leading media company for the business leaders of tomorrow.
Together, we hope to build a place where College Entrepreneurs go to gain knowledge, insight, exposure, and traction for their business ideas and ventures, and where Universities' and College's go to gain support for their students and their entrepreneurial curriculum.
Twelve industry tracks. Four divisions. A published calendar from the Bracket Reveal to the NCEA Forbes Cup Finals at Forbes on Fifth. Every founder knows the path, and every round has a title on the line.
Every founder trains with Ben — the entrepreneur's agent, powered by EMG.AI — and with their university's program. Every applicant receives a judged, scored evaluation of their venture. Nobody leaves the season without getting better.
Schools earn points for every application, selection, and title. The national standings rank the programs that develop founders — and crown a Program of the Year.
The NCEA is powered by EMG — the Entrepreneur Management Group — creators of the Entrepreneurs Roadmap™ and Ben™, the AI agent that guides founders from creation to exit. EMG's mission is to democratize entrepreneurship and empower every dreamer to become a builder. The NCEA is that mission taken to campus: the league where the next generation of builders trains and competes.

Whether you're a founder ready to compete or a university building the program that develops them, the season starts here.
