The Allstate Minority and Women Emerging Entrepreneurs (MWEE) program is a joint venture by the University at Buffalo School of Management’s Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and the University at Buffalo Center for Urban Studies. The program’s mission is to construct a pathway that enables minority and women entrepreneurs to move their companies to the next stage of development.

  • Provide protégés with technical advice on the varied aspects of running a small business.
  • Assist protégés in formulating clear objectives and outcomes to guide the development of their businesses.
  • Help protégés formulate realistic business goals and timetables, and develop strategies for achieving them.
  • Provide protégés with information about existing organizations and resources, public and private, that can assist with the development of their businesses and help them understand the importance of networking and obtaining membership in business organizations.
