Entrepreneurship (Lilie - Liu Idea Lab)

We invite you to support entrepreneurship and innovation at Rice, which is powered by the Liu Idea Lab for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Lilie). At Lilie we cultivate students and alumni who change the world – through their own startups and through innovations within existing companies. Supporting Lilie means supporting the entire Rice entrepreneurial ecosystem and growing the resources available to the next generation of change-makers and visionaries.

Lilie provides first-in-class programs and resources to our student founders by equipping them with a skillset that better prepares them to tackle our world’s most pressing needs. We are focused on strengthening our alumni community of entrepreneurs, innovators, and investors so that every current and former student has a network of Owls from which to learn and leverage.

Lilie remains the #1 graduate entrepreneurship program for the sixth consecutive year — a testament to our commitment to entrepreneurship. Your gift will directly support courses, co-curricular opportunities, and commercialization efforts.
