About us
Entrepreneur & Innovation Exchange (EIX.org) is an online resource that aims to dramatically raise the success rate of new business ventures. Targeting entrepreneurship students and professors at colleges around the world, as well as entrepreneurs and their investors, EIX aims to present the best research, ideas and practical advice about entrepreneurship in an engaging and accessible way. A non-profit initiative, EIX content is also free of charge, made possible because the site is funded by the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation. Richard (“Dick”) Schulze, the founder and ex-CEO of America’s largest consumer electronics retailer, Best Buy Co. Inc. (a $40 billion NYSE-listed firm), has devoted much of his fortune to advancing knowledge and helping new generations of entrepreneurs succeed. EIX is an important part of Schulze’s mission. EIX is affiliated with the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship , Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas’ Minneapolis campus. The site features research articles on entrepreneurship by academia’s foremost professors and other experts, as well as illuminating video interviews with and articles by some of America’s most successful entrepreneurs.
