About the program · 2 linked sources
The Entrepreneurship@DU microgrant program pays for early work on student business ideas. The dedicated program page says full-time DU students from any program can apply, and that the school purchases and tracks expenses. This listing is compiled from public Daniels pages and is not a school-claimed profile.

Application and Timing
Applications are accepted September 1 through May 1 of each academic year. Students start by emailing the public entrepreneurship mailbox for a readiness assessment.
Participants
Full-time University of Denver students. The program page does not limit eligibility to business majors. A readiness review looks for customer conversations, which the page describes as 15–20 potential customers, before a Qualtrics application.
Funding and Equity
The program page says one-time microgrants of up to $2,000, in three phases: Validation, Creation, and Activation. The hub page captured the same day says “new $1,000 microgrants.” A 2021 article also said $1,000. funding_max follows the dedicated program page. The pages do not say the grant takes equity.
Recent Activity
Both the program page and the hub page were live on 2026-10-08, with the conflicting dollar figures still published.
Known Startups or Winners
The captured program page did not list recipient names. The hub names ventures that received Entrepreneurship@DU support without tying them to this grant.
