OUR MISSION
The University of Michigan’s Detroit Neighborhood Entrepreneurs Project (DNEP) helps Detroit minority- and women-owned businesses grow while providing U-M students with life-changing consulting experiences. Through long-term relationships and effective sequencing, DNEP connects entrepreneurs with faculty-supervised student teams to address entrepreneurs’ legal, financial, marketing, operational, design, and technology challenges. Students gain valuable professional experience working with real businesses and come to know and love Detroit; business owners gain access to data and capacity that allows them to scale.

Make a meaningful impact on our mission to empower Detroit small businesses and university student teams. Support the Detroit Neighborhood Entrepreneurs Project by making a one-time or monthly gift using the yellow button above.
