The Indy Chamber and Kelley School recognize that one of the barriers to small business growth is the time and capacity to grow and scale. The MBA Business Solutions Program offers a unique approach to business growth. This model pairs local small businesses with faculty-supervised MBA consulting teams. The MBA students, working on their Kelley Schools Summer Capstone project, use their educational experiences, research abilities, and professional connections to solve real business challenges. The program lasts 2 months, from early June to early August. Business owners, or their designate, meet frequently and often with their MBA consulting team to ensure progress and work toward a final project presentation, which also serves as the business’s roadmap toward growth. We encourage you to apply if you are a business owner with a growth mindset and own a business at the precipice of growth.
