Propel strives to not only engage in semester-long impact projects with local companies but also to sustain these relationships beyond our time working together. We want our impact to be long-lasting and sustainable, and we hope to reach that through the Propel Pathway. Our Pathway consists of three vital parties: clients, company, and community. We believe that each is closely connected, and by implementing impactful initiatives with local socially conscious companies, we can strengthen the ties to ensure the Pathway is complete. Ultimately, the impact of our partner companies will be maximized and communities will benefit greatly.
VENTURE CONSULTING
Venture is Propel’s consulting division. In Venture, members work in teams of 5-6 people, consisting of a project lead and 4-5 analysts, on semester-long projects with local, socially-conscious businesses. Members will work closely with their team and company representatives during meetings to identify challenges, present financial and market analyses, and deliver recommendations to implement initiatives for strategic growth.
PURSUE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Pursue is Propel’s entrepreneurship division. In Pursue, members join a local start-up as a Propel team of 4-5 people to collaborate on and spearhead initiatives within the start-up business/organization. Through the hands-on work, members directly support the establishment of new businesses and organizations while gaining tangible entrepreneurial experience — ranging from developing a seed idea, defining opportunity and intended impact, marketing creative solutions, securing funds and partnerships, and more.
