Bring the messy middle.
The backbone of WEC. Recurring venture-building and accountability sessions where ideas become deliberate action.
Share updates and hardships. Work through problems. Trade feedback and strengths with members, executives, guests, and alumni.
A decision. Not a hypothetical.
Interactive workshops on real entrepreneurial decisions. Work on your venture or a structured scenario.
Leave with a positioning statement, go-to-market approach, or clearer venture communication, refined through feedback and iteration.
Learn from the people living it.
The decisions, risks, failures, and unexpected opportunities that don’t fit neatly into a slide deck.
People you can learn from
Hear how an idea became a venture, including the turns nobody planned for. Bring your questions about starting, stumbling, and moving forward.
Explore what investors look for beyond the pitch deck. Get a clearer view of the questions, trade-offs, and decisions behind a potential investment.
Meet people whose entrepreneurial journeys started where you are now. Learn what they tried, what surprised them, and what they would do differently.
Good things happen between people.
Meet someone building something completely different. Trade ideas. Stay for the conversation. Building a venture also means finding your people.
Say it out loud. Get a fresh perspective on what you’re building.
See what other founders are working on. Share what you’ve learned along the way.
Different strengths. Shared curiosity. A conversation could be the start of something.
Pull up a chair. Keep the conversation going beyond the work.
Make an introduction. Ask a question. Find a reason to stay in touch.
What holds us together.
Entrepreneurship is learned by doing. Recurring resources, accountability, and peer support give you a low-pressure place to turn ideas into action.
Meet founders, investors, and professionals. Learn from the decisions, risks, failures, trade-offs, and opportunities behind their experience.
Make meaningful connections with student founders, alumni, entrepreneurs, and the broader Morrissette ecosystem.
You don’t need to be a founder. Develop skills, meet possible co-founders, test an idea, and find your way through Western’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Share feedback, introductions, skills, and support. Your participation helps someone else move forward, and makes the collective stronger.
