Entrepreneurship & Professional Readiness Resources

At Texas Southern University, students have access to unique tools that prepare them for both career success and entrepreneurial growth.

Through the collaboration between Texas Southern University and Howard University × PNC National Center for Entrepreneurship – Southwest Region (via StartupTree), students can connect with a powerful network of events, mentors, funding opportunities, and peer innovators across HBCUs. It’s a hub designed to spark ideas, support ventures, and help aspiring entrepreneurs turn vision into reality.

Complementing this, House of Maroon provides access to professional, university-branded apparel that helps students “look the part” for interviews, networking events, and career fairs. By pairing sharp attire with entrepreneurial opportunities, students are equipped with the confidence, community, and resources they need to stand out.

Together, these platforms support both how you show up and what you build, empowering TSU students to thrive in their career journeys.
