BestPrep’s 44th year of Minnesota Business Venture (MBV) has concluded, but the connections made, and the inspiration sparked are sure to have a lasting impact on both students and volunteers.
This summer, MBV welcomed 386 students from 115 schools across the country for two weeks of experiential learning, networking, and fun — making 2025 the highest enrollment year since 2010 and the seventh highest since MBV began in 1981.
MBV wouldn’t be possible without the support of our incredible volunteers. This year, 145 business professionals from 79 companies generously gave their time and expertise to Minnesota students.
The University of St. Thomas and the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship in St. Paul once again hosted MBV, continuing a six year partnership with Minnesota Business Venture.
Registration for 2026 will begin in December on BestPrep’s website, and volunteer opportunities will open in March. We hope to see you next year!
