The program supports early-stage companies by giving them access to critical talent. Interns can help drive projects forward, tackle pressing needs, and bring fresh perspectives to company initiatives, all while gaining valuable insights into the entrepreneurial world.
As part of this program, Missouri State students will work with efactory incubator member companies on meaningful, semester-long projects that address real business needs. These internships are structured to help students develop entrepreneurial skills in an authentic setting, enhancing their understanding and practical application of business concepts.
As part of our commitment to enriching the intern experience, we’ve incorporated The Great Game of Business® into the program! This unique approach gives students additional insight into key business principles, adding a fun and interactive layer to the internship.
During group meetings, students will learn foundational concepts of The Great Game of Business®, then put their knowledge into action with a capstone project designed to deepen their understanding. Students will create a custom MiniGame™ strategy tailored to benefit their member companies — giving them the chance to make a real impact!
The Entrepreneurship Intern Pilot Program matches Missouri State University students with efactory incubator member companies – at no cost. Thanks to funding from the Missouri Technology Corporation MOBEC grant and additional support from the Hatch Foundation, the pilot program and all student wages are fully funded, making this a risk-free way for member companies to gain valuable support.
