About Us

Area 31 is the center of all entrepreneurial activity in IE and was created to provide visionaries a place to develop their disruptive start-up ideas. It is a space where entrepreneurship is experienced in many of its facets and where innovation is explored. For many students, it is where an initial idea shared with classmates evolves through mentorship, workshops, and real market feedback into a venture ready to pitch to investors. We have great initiatives like Venture Lab, Search Funds Lab, M&A Lab, Venture Network, and many others.
