Dan Gilbert, majority owner of
the Cleveland Cavaliers-National
Basketball Association franchise and
founder and chair of Quicken Loans,
the home mortgage lender, has created
an urban entrepreneurial academy,
Bizdom U.
Set to launch in January, it will be a
full-time, two-year program designed
to produce entrepreneurs who will
start up and lead successful Detroit-
based businesses. The goal is to pro-
vide graduates of urban high schools
who do not plan to pursue a four-year
degree with an alternative educa-
tion in entrepreneurship. Those who
graduate from Bizdom U can expect
between $25,000 and $500,000 to be
invested over time, based on mile-
stones and performance, into their
companies.
