Made
The Michigan Academy for Developing Entrepreneurs (MADE) is a US-based non-profit organization whose aim is to develop entrepreneurs in emerging economies. MADE was founded by the William Davidson and Zell-Lurie Institutes at the University of Michigan and Poornatha Partnering Entrepreneurs LLP in Madurai, India.
WHAT WE DO
MADE provides Enterprise Development Organizations (EDOs) in emerging economies a repeatable, scalable, transferable and profitable service platform to develop entrepreneurs in their home countries.
The MADE entrepreneur development process centers around rigorous decision making while incorporating information about the company business model, external forces impacting that model, and even personal characteristics and business skills of the entrepreneur.
The MADE platform practically applies deep academic understanding of decision management, survey science, and the entrepreneurial method and therefore, empowers EDOs to help local entrepreneurs make strategic, evidence-based decisions that guide entrepreneur development, drive company value and foster community health.
