Big ideas start small — and, at Rice Business, they grow into world-changing ventures.

Our entrepreneurship ecosystem empowers students to launch bold companies, develop an entrepreneurial mindset and shape the future. It’s a place where ideas are nurtured from concept to pitch to launch — and supported every step of the way by expert faculty, hands-on mentorship and real-world opportunities like the Rice Business Plan Competition (RBPC). The RBPC is now the world’s largest and richest student startup competition, helping founders gain funding, exposure and the momentum to take their ventures to the next level.

Hear how our supportive culture, faculty expertise and tight-knit Houston startup network make Rice Business the #1 graduate entrepreneurship program six years running since 2019 (Princeton Review).
Whether you're a founder in the making or just beginning to explore entrepreneurship, this is where ideas take root and thrive.
