As part of DePaul University's Entrepreneurship Program, the Coleman Entrepreneurship Center is an outreach center offering consulting services, educational programs, and resources for students and entrepreneurs throughout Chicagoland and in the various stages of The Entrepreneurial Quest®.

Entrepreneurs face different issues and challenges at different stages of their venture, regardless of industry sector.
