The Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship is Rice University's flagship initiative devoted to the support of technology entrepreneurship.
The mission of the Rice Alliance is to support the creation of technology-based companies and the commercialization of new technologies in the Houston community and Southwest. Since its inception in late-1999, the Rice Alliance has assisted in the launch of more than 205 new technology companies. Rice Alliance companies have raised more than $300 million in early stage funding. More than 350 early-stage technology companies have benefited from participation in Rice Alliance programs as either a presenter or technology showcase company.
The Rice Alliance provides a collaborative network and forum for support, education and the exchange of ideas. It provides entrepreneurs access to the human and financial capital needed for success. Gimmal leaders are involved with Jones Partners, which is a group of business leaders whose mission is to open doors to the community for the Jones Graduate School of Management at Rice.
