Ole Ventures
Ole Ventures is a student-led entrepreneurship club that provides students with practical and socially conscious business experience through student run businesses, and on-campus lectures and events.
What is Ole Ventures?
A combination of the student organizations SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) and OASIS (Oles Advancing Social Innovation and Sustainability), Ole Ventures combines business with social awareness. All the proceeds from our for-profit businesses on campus are donated to a non-profit. What we have done already:
1. Helped students develop a successful business to sell Norwegian Sweater T-shirts on campus.
2. Sold "cookie cards," a mess-free way to perk up a friend's PO box with a coupon redeemable for a cage cookie.
3. Organized site visits to local social entrepreneurs, like Thousand Hills Cattle and The Cookie Cart
