LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville College of Business gets a starring role in the second season of WBNA21’s local television series for would-be entrepreneurs, “Dream Funders.”
Filmed at the College of Business, the second season debuts Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. and will have a total of 13 episodes. It includes analysis from the college’s Van Clouse, chair of the Forcht Center for Entrepreneurship; Suzanne Bergmeister, entrepreneur-in-residence and chair of the Venture Connectors entrepreneur and investor forum; and Colton Payne, entrepreneurship MBA student and president of the UofL Entrepreneurship Club.
